How do I use my custom URL to promote my book?

Getting reviews can be challenging for an indie author.

Try using a statement like this when communicating with your readers:

Then include your custom link to https://www.bookreview.io/.

Why do I need to say if I received a free copy?

Those that have paid for a book may have a different perspective compared with those that received a free copy from a contest, as a gift, or during a promotion. Books given free to reviewers from the author or publisher are not a reward, they are a review copy.
