Pubby

It is really my source for getting quality reviews on Amazon. Once I post my book up for review, it usually takes fifteen minutes for someone to pickup the book, and for a Verified Purchase, it may take a couple of hours. Once in a while, a Verified Purchase Review shows up as a regular review but I get my snaps refunded. Very easy to work with.

I am a public speaker and author, and I recently published a new book this past spring. Upon release, I joined Pubby to help launch my new book off the ground. The site is a useful service for authors to post their book within the platform and generate reviews. In order to receive reviews, you must write them for different authors on the site as well. The site is very user friendly, and once you get going, you gain readers and reviews very quickly. Oftentimes, it can feel like the Amazon algorithm can work against smaller authors, so it's nice that tools like this exist so we can stand a chance. Pubby does a great job facilitating collaboration amongst authors so we all have an equal opportunity to gain exposure and get thoughtful reviews. I would definitely recommend it to any other looking for strategic ways to market their book.

Pubby has helped me get more reviews for my book, and many of the reviews are quality reviews. They're honest, which means they're not all 5 stars or anything, which is realistic and what any serious author wants. I've actually received some very valuable feedback in Pubby reviews, and it's helped increase my exposure.

I've only been using Pubby for a couple months, but so far I have had a good experience. I wish more authors were involved with this site because sometimes I can't find the type of book I want to read, but one will normally come up in a few days. I know that some of the customers on pubby do not actually read the books they are reviewing in order to get their snaps, but most of my requests have been read and reviewed based on what was written and posted on Amazon.

I have had a few incidents where I get a warning that my review was not published on Amazon, when it was, but a quick email to their customer service fixed it. The one thing that I hope they change is the time frame they give you to read and review a book. I think the best is about 2 weeks time instead of 4 days. I think that would help with the fly by reviews since it will give people actual time to read the full book.

I am quite satisfied with the review service Pubby. Although I went in with some trepidation I found that it's a reputable service with adequate customer support. Every time there was a discrepancy concerning "snaps" as in how many were dealt out and how many were supposed to be dealt out the disagreement was always fairly and quickly resolved. Being a writer like most writers I am beholden to getting my books reviewed and Pubby was instrumental in facilitating those reviews.

Oh, so many good intentions. Unfortunately you can't pave your way to a good rating on Amazon with them! Without Pubby, I've read the grim statistics and experienced them for myself: out of 100 people who swear up and down that they will, they will, they REALLY REALLY WILL review your book... maybe two of them do.
Who's got the time to track them all and make sure they follow through? If you value your time and would prefer to spend it writing, researching or doing other kinds of marketing then Pubby is well worth the price. Its users know what they're there to do, and they do it— either you Pubby or you herd cats. Nuff said.

They promise more reviews than they can deliver-the one review I did get was a three star when all 30 something of my other reviews was 5 star and a few four stars. Very annoying because I saw elsewhere that a few reviewers on the site are just leaving 1 and 2-star reviews, and support just lets them.
