Volunteer Review Finished?

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Volunteer Review Finished?

Post by katiesquilts »

Hi everyone!

I just finished my first volunteer review (I know it was volunteer as I took it on at the same time as a paid review) but after posting my review and going back to the Update Status page, there was no place for me to leave a comment for the author. I was only able to choose the rating for the book. Is this normal for Volunteer reviews? How is the author supposed to know that I read the entire book?

Yes. Only paid reviews require the approval of the authors.

Alright, thank you! I was just a little thrown by the change.
