Does Authentic accept any book genre, in any language, from any country?
We welcome submissions from any genre and now accept books in any language. You can participate regardless of where you live, as long as you have, or are about to have, an eBook available for sale on Amazon.
How many reviews can my book receive?
You can receive unlimited reviews as long as you have enough points to request one. This is not a paid-per-review site; fellow authors choose your books.
To attract reviewers, ensure that your Book is reasonably priced and features an appealing cover and an enticing summary.
How do I receive points?
You will earn points each time you read and submit a verified review of another author’s ebook on Amazon. To do this, you must purchase an ebook on Amazon (or read from Kindle Unlimited) and read it.
Please note that Amazon allows users to post reviews only if they have spent at least $50 on any product in their respective marketplace within the previous year.
Do I lose the points if I don’t use them?
No, the points are yours to keep and use when you decide to. Even if you leave the program and rejoin later, they will be available for you.

It is not enough to add the book to our platform; you must actively request a review so it can be posted in our library and be accessible to our members.
For this to happen, you need at least 10 points in your wallet for each review request, which you will acquire by reading other author’s books.
What is the cost of the program?
There is no cost per review; however, you must be a member to take advantage of the program’s benefits. We offer the lowest membership fees in the market, with options for both monthly and annual memberships. Please refer to the Pricing tab for more details.
