What are Standard Reviews?

Standard Reviews are one of our three review types.

Authors upload an interior file of their manuscript. It can be a pdf or epub file.

Readers will then download this file from pubby.

Where's my file?

Hopefully somewhere on your computer!

If you're having trouble locating your file, contact any of these experts who may have helped you during publishing:

  • editor

  • publisher

Your Privacy

Only users who sign up to review your book will be able to access the uploaded manuscript.

Pubby does not show or expose any data to public users or external services. Your profile and books will have no public listing. It cannot be searched, crawled, or linked to by external services (like Google or Amazon).

If you are concerned about offering your file, or cannot locate it, sign up for our other review types: Verified Purchase Reviews, and Kindle Unlimited Reviews. Neither require a file :)

Please keep in mind, as of mid-April 2025, Amazon limits reviewers to 5 non-Verified Purchase (what we call "Standard") reviews per week. This means it may take longer to find readers for the Standard review type compared to our Verified Purchase or Kindle Unlimited review types.
