How it works

Four steps from upload to honest reviews.

Just upload your book, set a per-review budget, and start getting genuine, helpful reviews from real readers. No fake 5-star swaps, no AI-written reviews, no awkward outreach.

01

Upload your book

Add your book details, upload the PDF, and set your campaign goals.

02

Set your per-review budget

You decide what each reader earns. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.

03

Readers pick it up

Readers browse available books and claim yours based on genuine interest in the genre.

04

Reviews come in

Readers finish the book, post an honest Amazon review, and you only pay for verified reviews.

Why us

Built for honest momentum, not gamed numbers.

No. 01

Honest reviews, never bought

Readers opt in because your book interests them. Any review they leave is their own; optional, unincentivized, and written like a reader rather than a transaction.

No. 02

A dashboard that shows the whole story

Readers, reading progress, submissions, and live review links, measured in one place. No spreadsheets, no guessing what your spend bought.

No. 03

Built to respect Amazon's rules

Book distribution with reader choice and honest reviews, with no incentivized ratings. Campaigns stay aligned with Amazon policy by design, not by luck.

No. 04

Real readers, not credit-farmers

No swaps. No "review mine and I'll review yours." Just real people choosing real books from your genre.

No. 05

Skip the legwork

No more posting in Facebook groups or trading favors. Upload your book, set your budget, and readers come to you.

No. 06

Verified before you pay

Every verified review is from a real person who actually read your book. We check submitted review links before releasing payment.

Dashboard

The health of every campaign, at a glance.

The Launch Reads dashboard gives publishers a full campaign view without spreadsheets, DMs, or guessing what happened after upload.

  • Live reader and review counts the moment activity happens
  • One-click access to every published review link

The difference

Better than review exchange sites.

Review exchange platforms are full of authors who only review to get reviews back. The result is shallow, transactional feedback. Our readers choose books they actually want to read, so you get higher-quality feedback and campaigns that stay on the right side of Amazon's policies.

What publishers are saying

Authors don't whisper about us. They review us.

Rated on Trustpilot
I used to spend hours in Facebook groups begging for reviews. With Launch Reads, I uploaded my book and had 8 reviews within two weeks. Game changer.
DTDavid T.Self-published author, 3 books
The reviews I get through Launch Reads are actually useful, because readers share real opinions, not generic one-liners.
RMRachel M.Independent publisher
Tried three other review services before this. Launch Reads is the only one where the reviews felt like they were from people who genuinely read the book.
