We believe every great book deserves to be discovered

Our Mission

The self-publishing industry has a visibility problem. Amazon's algorithm rewards books with reviews, but getting those first reviews is the hardest part of being an indie author. Traditional ARC lists are slow, unreliable, and often yield low-quality feedback. Paid review mills violate Amazon's policies and put your account at risk.

FolioReach was founded to solve this problem the right way. We connect authors with a curated network of thousands of vetted readers who genuinely love books. Readers are compensated for their time reading — never for writing reviews. Reviews are always optional, always honest, and always compliant with Amazon's Community Guidelines.

How the Platform Works

Authors upload their book, set a per-review bid, and choose a review goal. Our matching system pairs your book with readers who have demonstrated interest in your genre. Readers select books from our curated library, read them at their own pace, and confirm completion through either an Amazon review or a book report.

Authors only pay when a reader completes a verified review. If a reader doesn't finish, your funds are returned. Every campaign includes a real-time dashboard where you can track reader progress, review submissions, and spending — giving you full transparency and control at every step.

Platform Integrity

We operate within Amazon's Community Guidelines at every level. Our compliance team actively monitors reader behavior, review quality, and account standing to protect both authors and readers.

Author-First Design

Everything we build starts with the author's needs. Simple pricing with no monthly fees, transparent dashboards, full budget control, and support from people who understand the publishing industry.

Reader Quality

Every reader in our network is vetted for reading history, review quality, and Amazon account standing. We reject over 60% of reader applications to maintain the highest standards.

Honest Reviews

We never influence review content, star ratings, or sentiment. Authors who use FolioReach get a natural distribution of ratings that Amazon's algorithm trusts and readers find credible.

Transparency

No hidden fees, no opaque processes. Authors see exactly where their money goes, track every reader's progress in real time, and get clear reporting on campaign performance.

Fair Compensation

Readers deserve to be paid fairly for their time. Our compensation model ensures readers earn a meaningful income for doing what they love: reading books and sharing their thoughts.
