Summary
Voracious Readers Only matches novels with readers by sub-genre; readers who request a copy give permission for the author to email them, and weekly digests point them to Amazon and Goodreads review links. It offers one free 20-book giveaway per author, then paid ongoing promotions, and does not guarantee reviews. Third-party sites reported a hiatus earlier in 2026; its reader site and author page are live again, but confirm submissions are open before planning around it. Free copies are allowed by Amazon only when a review is not required.
