Tips on Writing Book Reviews

Why Book Reviews Matter
Book reviews play a vital role in helping stories reach the readers who need them most. On platforms like Amazon, reviews help books become more visible, trusted, and discoverable.
When readers leave a review, they:
-
Help other readers decide whether a book is right for them
-
Increase the book’s visibility in online searches and recommendations
-
Support authors and small publishers who rely on word-of-mouth
-
Strengthen the credibility of books used in schools, libraries, and community programs
-
Provide valuable feedback that helps authors continue improving their work
Even a short review of a few sentences can make a meaningful difference.
​
Why Amazon Reviews Are Especially Important
Amazon uses reviews to determine:
-
How often a book appears in search results
-
Whether the book is recommended to other readers
-
How the book is perceived by educators, parents, and organizations
-
Overall trust and credibility of the book
​
Books with consistent, honest reviews are more likely to:
-
Reach new readers
-
Be considered for classroom and literacy programs
-
Be included in grants, partnerships, and reading initiatives
Your Voice Matters
You do not need to be a professional writer to leave a review.
Your personal experience—what you felt, learned, or enjoyed—matters.
Reviews can be:
-
2–5 sentences
-
Written, emailed, or recorded as a voicemail
-
Positive, thoughtful, and honest
Each review helps ensure that stories centered on learning, vocabulary, and community continue to be written and shared.​​​​​​​​​​
