Frequently Asked Questions

We know authors have questions before signing up — here are the answers to the most common ones.

1. How long does it take to get reviews?

Review times vary depending on the number of readers engaging with your book. Typically, you may begin seeing reviews within 1–3 weeks after your book is approved and listed on InstantReeds.com. Some authors get reviews faster, while others may take longer, depending on reader interest.

2. Are the reviews guaranteed to be positive?

No. We only allow honest, unbiased reviews from real readers. Some may be glowing, others may include constructive feedback. This honesty is what makes reviews valuable, credible, and compliant with Amazon’s policies.

3. Will my reviews be safe on Amazon?

Yes. We follow Amazon’s community guidelines carefully. Our readers are genuine customers or community members, and reviews come from real accounts — never bots or fake profiles. However, Amazon ultimately decides what reviews remain on its platform.

4. What’s the difference between verified and unverified reviews?

  • Verified Reviews: A reader from our community purchases your book on Amazon and leaves a review. These show the “Verified Purchase” badge on Amazon, which builds trust.

  • Unverified Reviews: A reader enjoys your free PDF version via InstantReeds.com. If they choose, they can post a review on Amazon, but it will not carry the “Verified Purchase” badge.

5. Do I need to give away free copies?

For unverified reviews, yes — readers access your PDF for free on InstantReeds.com.
For verified reviews, no readers actually buy your book on Amazon themselves, so no free copies are required.

6. Can I cancel my listing?

Since this is a one-time pay-per-book listing, there’s no ongoing subscription to cancel.
