The concept is simple
The more books you read, the more points you receive, and the more reviews you can request.

Joining Authentic
- Easily create your profile.
- Include the books for which you want to receive reviews. Please note that your books will be available in our library only after you request a review, and members will have access to select them for review.
Authors Participation
- To participate in the program, you must be an author.
- Have an eBook that is currently available for purchase on Amazon.
- The number of eBooks you can include in the program isn’t limited. However, members without a book won’t be allowed.
- Your country of residence doesn’t matter as long as your book is in English.
Request Review
- Upon joining Authentic, you receive welcome points.
- Only when you request a review will your eBook be available at our library, and points will be deducted from your wallet. If you change your mind, you can cancel anytime, as long as your eBook hasn’t been selected. In this case, the points will be reinstated.
- To increase your eBook’s chance of being selected, consider the following common denominators: an interesting title, an attractive cover, a great summary, and a reasonable price. We recommend prices to be below U$ 4.99.
- There is no cost per review or financial compensation for the reviewers now or in the future. This reaffirms the platform’s commitment to integrity and ensures that reviews are based on genuine feedback, not monetary gain.
Choosing an eBook to provide a critique
- Only the books the authors requested to be reviewed will be visible at the Authentic Library. As the reviewer, you can only pick one eBook to read at a time. Make sure you have access to eBooks in your marketplace.
- After selecting a book from our library, purchase the eBook version on your local Amazon. Amazon requires that you have spent at least U$ 50 in the previous 12 months to be able to provide a review. Reading a book from Kindle Unlimited or audiobooks is not accepted, as we aim for verified purchases. You won’t receive points if you provide a Non-verified review. You do not need to own a Kindle to read an eBook; you can effortlessly read on your tablet or computer, even if the formatting is different.
- You have an average of 5 days to read and provide your review, depending on the size of the book. If you change your mind, you can cancel the assignment at any time, preferably as early as possible, to avoid punishing the author, whose book will be immediately returned to the library and available to other members.
Post Reviews at Amazon
- Authentic does not influence the reviews in any way. We only ask the reviewers to be professional and approach feedback with respect, empathy, and constructive intent. Please avoid using AI in your review. Not only might Amazon not accept and delete it later, but you won’t receive points.
- To maintain your privacy when submitting a review on Amazon, we recommend adding a pen name different from yours or your author’s name.
- It is essential to call out that Authentic is compliant with Amazon’s review policy:
- There is no financial compensation for reviewers nor any payment per review.
- There are no swaps or trade reviews due to the privacy in place.
- There is no obligation to provide a review.
- There isn’t any external influence on the review.
- You will receive the points only after Amazon has approved the review you submitted and made it visible on their platform.

At Authentic, we aim to create a courteous environment where a respectful attitude toward other authors is a must.
