ABOUT SPR

Self-Publishing Review offers professional book reviews, Amazon book marketing, and editing services for indie authors, small presses, and first-time writers.

Getting Reviewed

The fee for an impartial, professional editorial book review starts at $89. Reviews are returned within 7-30 working *not calendar* days. Reviews can also be posted on Amazon (Editorial Reviews section) and various other social sites in your author profile section (see FAQs for details). They may also be cross-posted to the reviewer’s own blog. We also share reviews with all social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and X.

You own the review and can use the review for marketing purposes. If you are in the US, you should include FTC endorsements guideline information when you use the copy for marketing purposes. Click here for complete book review guidelines.

Who Are We?

Self-Publishing Review was founded by award-winning Hollywood author and blogger Henry Baum in 2008 in Los Angeles, California. With a dedicated staff of professional reviewers and publishing professionals from both the US and UK, SPR remains one of the top online resources for self-published authors today.

SPR has been recommended in Forbes, Publisher’s Weekly, The Guardian, and more.

SPR has recently celebrated its 15th year as a top reliable resource for self-publishers.

Review Team

All reviewers have a college degree as a minimum level of education and speak fluent English. All are professional online writers, and many are experienced self-publishers. We support diversity and disability empowerment and allow reviewers to work in satellite offices in the US.

Analysis Team

We have a team of book analysts who make all our reports for Best Seller and Add-On clients. All are English speaking. We do not use offshore agency teams for any process at SPR, and all staff used are senior-level experts in their field.

Admin Tasks

All admin is undertaken by our office admin team in-house. None of our staff are interns or offshore workers outside of the UK or US.

Offices

Our HQ is in the city of Valencia, Spain, where a lively literary community of English-speaking expats work in a flourishing digital community.
