Professional Cred
For Your Book

WHAT YOU GET

Get Discovered

According to the latest Bowker stats, there were 2.6 million books self-published in 2023. That’s a lot of company (and competition!) for any author. An IR Pro book review will help set your title apart from the rest, increasing your book’s chance for discoverability.

Improve Your Writing

Some authors use their book reviews as a way to improve their writing skills. While IR’s reviews are written in service to readers, IR’s reviewers—some of the best in the field—will let you know if you’ve achieved what you set out to do.

Cost-Effective

There are many Pro book review services to choose from, but at almost half the price as our competitors—with many of the same reviewers—IR clearly offers the best value.

Get Your Book Noticed

If your title is IR Approved (4 to 5 stars) you will be invited to talk more about it in our All About the Book interview that will be posted to IR's site.

WHAT AUTHORS ARE SAYING ABOUT INDIEREADER REVIEWS

“The review gave my book visibility in a crowded marketplace and a vital introduction to readers, both of which helped it become a bestseller.”

PM White
Author of Buzz Ride

“Thank you for the wonderful review. I have had experience with other review organizations and it was evident they only skimmed parts of my book. As I read your review it was obvious to me that you and your staff read the entire book. Again, thank you.”

“What I really love is aiming for IndieReader’s ‘IndieReader-approved’ status after a review. It’s a great benchmark, and something an independent author can really hang their hat on.”

Michael Jarvis
Author of Field of Vision

“As an indie author it’s not easy to get reviews from traditional mainstream sources so it’s a solid promotional benefit to get a good review from a respected independent source. For both of my books, it’s been a great personal boost for me to receive positive reactions from IndieReader.”
