If you like free books and writing reviews, then you might belong on a Launch Team. Retailers, especially Amazon, are more likely to show buyers books with large numbers of reviews, and the launch team can help make that happen.
If you join a team, expect a link for a free ebook two to three weeks before any new release. You’ll receive a reminder notice a week after this. Then on launch day, you’ll get an email letting you know it’s live and you can review.
Don’t want to review on Amazon? No problem. Review on Goodreads, Bookbub, social media, a blog, or even just mention the book over tea with a friend. A written review needn’t be long or complicated–just tell buyers why they might like this book. Or not like it, if that’s the case.
Because my books come in several genres, there are multiple launch teams, described below.
You may sign up for one, two, or all the groups. Just follow the link below to get started. And thank you in advance–this is the most helpful thing a reader can do for an author outside of buying a book. Have questions? Scroll past the subscription form for more answers.
New Release Launch Teams
I would love free novels in exchange for voluntary reviews.
Thank you!
You have successfully joined the launch teams of your choice.
*I already signed up for your launch teams once. Do I have to sign up again?—Not if you signed up after 2023. Not sure? It’s okay to sign up twice. You’ll only get one set of emails, not two.
*What if I change my mind?—Shoot me an email if you want to stay on my list but leave the launch teams. (I fully understand. No hard feelings AT ALL.) If you hit the unsubscribe button, you will unsubscribe from my email list, too, because I have a less expensive email service. Apologies.
*What if I don’t review the books?—I don’t keep track of who reviews and who doesn’t. This is on the honor system. If you download a free book, please review it.
*I don’t have time for this book but want to review the next one.—If you know you can’t review a book, please don’t download it. You will remain on the list even if you can’t review every book.
*How often will I be asked to review?–Each genre has 1-3 books per year. Romance is the most.
Thank you in advance, and feel free to email me with questions at jill@jillpenrod.com
