Curious about review times
Also, are we allowed, after we get our review, to contact our reviewer directly and pick their brains, so to speak? (By PM I mean, so as not to spam any walls or the review itself)
Thanks for your time. Not in a big hurry, so it's not urgent.
Sincerely,
K.

The reviewers usually write the reviews within a week after finishing the book. However, I usually allow them up to a month because I don't want o sacrifice quality for speed.

Contacting them might make them feel uncomforatble. And I value an honest review more.
Thank you for your response, and I will await my review of "A Once and Future Planet" which I'm sure then, will be written soon. I hope. lol
And to nameless/faceless reviewer, thank you for your time and effort regardless of the review!

I uploaded my book in August. I am wondering what's going on with my book review? Someone picked it up in Sept. then said it wasn't for them, and it was given to someone else, and I was sent an email saying it was read, and the reviewer was in the process of writing a review. That was back in November. I believe November 20th to be more accurate. Now, it's Feb 8th, and I've just received another email saying that a reviewer has picked up my book and is in the process of reading it. So, now three people have read, or started to read my book, and no one wants to review it? Is there any way to get a more accurate time frame for when SOMEONE might finish a review for me? It's ok if the review is bad, I can take constructive critisism. I can learn and improve from critisism. But if I have no feedback at all, how can I work on the things I'm doing badly? Thank you for looking into this for me!
