Welcome to Readers Favorite The fastest growing book review and award contest site on the Internet!
Named one of the best websites for authors by the Association of Independent Authors
We proudly review for renowned authors and publishers like...
James Patterson, Nicholas Sparks and David Baldacci as well as thousands of self-published authors and small publishers.
We have enjoyed working with Readers Favorite these past
few years. They provide timely and honest reviews and go the extra
mile by posting reviews on social media sites like Facebook and
trade sites like Barnes & Noble and Google Books. Laura Tucker, Random House Publishing
Readers Favorite has been awarded the Association of
Independent Authors Honoring Excellence award, which recognizes
businesses and organizations that offer exceptional products and
services for independent authors. Leigh Cunningham, Association of Independent Authors
We provide authors with a FREE review of their published or unpublished book, manuscript, eBook, audio book, comic book or poetry book. We also provide an inexpensive 2 week Express Review.
Our Review Exchange and Book Donation programs are free review options that identify authors who wish to create reciprocal reviews with other authors, and authors who are willing to provide free copies of their books to schools, libraries, and other non-profit organizations.
Our Annual International Book Award Contest provides 4 levels of awards in each of our 70+ categories to assist authors in obtaining more recognition and exposure.
Readers have access to a simple but complete review page featuring a standard five-star rating system and a straightforward review from a member of the Readers Favorite team, as well as Facebook comments/reviews by individual readers. Our books span the spectrum from popular authors like David Baldacci and Nicholas Sparks to today's newest self-published authors.
Because we only list premium books, the reviews are primarily positive, creating an enjoyable community for book enthusiasts. All reviews contain a purchase link with options for a book trailer video, author biography and photo, as well as links to their personal websites, Facebook and Twitter pages.
Just click on any one of our 70+ genre categories on the left and take a look around.
We provide quality reviews for Random House, Penguin, Harper Collins, and many other publishers both large and small. We post the review on our site, Barnes & Noble, Google Books and Facebook. Many of our reviewers will post the review on their website and blog, as well as popular review and social media sites.
We do not post negative reviews. If a book receives a poor rating, we provide the author with constructive criticism instead.
In addition, portions of our review can be adjusted for size to fit on book covers and other marketing materials.
The Readers Favorite Book Donation program was created to help non-profit and charitable organizations (schools, libraries, soldier donation programs, convalescent homes, etc.) by providing them with free books and to help authors garner more exposure for their work.
Authors who participate in our Book Donation program are willing to donate free copies of their books in exchange for some reviews (if circumstances allow) and the knowledge that their books are being read and enjoyed. They
will be identified by the purple Book Donation button.
Reviews by authors in the Book Donation program will appear first in each of our genre categories.
Click on any of the categories on the left and take a look around. We have thousands of books to choose from. When you find a book you like, simply use the "Email the author" link on their review page to contact the author with your request.
Readers Favorite donates many of the books we review and
a percentage of our profits to the above charities each year. We
make sure your book and some of the money you spend on our site
is used to bring comfort and aid to those in need. Debra Gaynor, CEO Readers Favorite
Readers Favorite is growing fast, and even with over 100 reviewers we still need many more to keep up with the growing demand for reviews.
We are seeking authors and avid readers who have a passion for reading, a desire to help authors, and who possess the literary skills to recognize quality work and write an insightful review of it. If this sounds like you, then we encourage you to apply to be a Readers Favorite reviewer!
We do not assign books. Instead, you select them online from detailed listings. You can even download the book first to check it out before choosing to review it. This system ensures you only review books you are interested in so that you can provide the author with a fair review. Everything is done online for your convenience.
We have hundreds of books each month whose authors range from seasoned veterans like James Patterson to first time self-published authors.
We also provide authors with a way to rate your performance to help you improve your reviewing skills and to ensure we always provide our authors with fair, honest and informative reviews.
To show our gratitude to our reviewers we hold an annual Reviewer Giveaway with over a thousand dollars in prizes.
