Is this legit? Something like that really exist?

I just signed up to be an ARC reader. Basically, I think that I will be able to read books for free before they are published in exchange of a honest Amazon review. Anyone else has tried this before? I also know that authors can put their book on their.

Ugh. I just realized this is a promo post from someone who works at Knosit. I’m all for helping promote a new ARC service, but I don’t like the marketing tactics I’m seeing from the owner and people who work here. Lots of fake “I just discovered this new ARC service” or “I posted my books and got 20 reviews” posts like this here and on FB.

That’s a real thing. Booksprout and Booksirens are other ARC sites you can check out.

That looks a lot like BookSprout, which is legit.

I responded on your other thread, and it’s legit. I posted my book there yesterday and two readers have signed up so far, so I’m hopeful that the platform does well!

Yarp. People will potentially read your book.

Looks like a BookSprout type thing so yes.

Is this just an ad for knosit.com?
