What is an editorial review (and how is it different from a reader review)?
An editorial review is a professional, publication-ready endorsement written to highlight your book’s strengths and appeal. Unlike casual reader reviews, it’s crafted for marketing use—think book pages, press kits, ads, and retailer listings—while staying honest and specific.
What do you need from me to get started?
A short synopsis, your genre and comps (if you have them), your preferred excerpt or full manuscript file, and where you plan to use the review. If you’re unsure what to send, start with what you have—we’ll guide you from there.
How long does it take to receive my review?
Turnaround depends on length, complexity, and current queue, but you’ll receive an estimated delivery date before we begin. If you’re working toward a launch, mention your deadline and we’ll confirm whether we can meet it.
Can you guarantee a positive review or specific wording?
No—credibility comes from honesty. We don’t promise a predetermined verdict, but we do commit to a thoughtful, fair read and a review that’s clear, accurate, and aligned with your book’s intended audience.
Where can I use the editorial review once it’s delivered?
You can feature it on your book’s website, sales pages, retailer descriptions, social graphics, press releases, and in your media kit. If you need versions for different placements (short blurb vs. longer quote), ask—we can advise on best-fit excerpts.
