Here is the part most listings leave out. Amazon bans paying anyone for a review, so there is no per-book rate, no balance and no payout. What is real is the book itself: free, and yours to keep.
iWrity runs a free reader shelf. Indie authors put copies up, readers take them, and nobody owes anybody anything afterwards.
No application, no deadlines, no quota, no boss. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.
Create a free reader account and see the indie books authors have put up. Each listing shows the genre and length upfront.
Download the PDF and read at your own pace. Your name and a unique code sit on every page, so the copy is traceable to you.
Four days later you get one email saying a review is welcome and that a critical one is just as useful. That is the only time we ask.
Unlike the freelance reviewer listings you have seen, there is no application to pass. Here is all of it.
The whole ledger, with nothing left off it:
One thing worth knowing up front: reviews written from a free copy are not marked Verified Purchase, and Amazon filters those harder.
Most are not what the name suggests. Amazon bans compensating anyone for a review, and accounts on both sides get removed over it. What is legitimate is a free copy with no strings attached: the author gives you the book, and whether you review it is entirely your decision.
On iWrity, nothing. No cash, no points, no gift cards, no priority. The book itself is what you get, and it is yours to keep. Anyone quoting you a per-book rate for an Amazon review is describing something Amazon prohibits.
No. There is no application, no writing sample and no portfolio. You create a free reader account, take a book from the shelf and read it. Whether you write anything afterwards is up to you.
You do not, and be careful with any site that says otherwise. iWrity has no reviewer balance, no payout and no PayPal withdrawal, because paying for reviews is the fastest way to lose an Amazon account.
You do not have to write a review at all. If you choose to, honesty is the only thing that counts. A critical review is just as useful to an author as a glowing one, and fake five-star reviews break both iWrity policy and Amazon's.
Only read books you genuinely enjoy. Pick your genre below.
