KNOSIT ARC PROGRAM

Free books, before anyone else has read them.

Indie authors send us advance copies. We match them to readers who actually read that genre. You get the book free — the author gets an honest review.

Read it first. Say what you think.

Advance copies of indie books, weeks or months before release. No cost, no subscription.

  1. 1

    Pick a book

    Tell us your genres and we'll send you something that fits. One book at a time.

  2. 2

    Read it in three weeks

    You get the file the day you're matched. Kindle, Kobo, phone, whatever you read on.

  3. 3

    Post an honest review

    Amazon and Goodreads when you're done, plus Knosit if you want. We send you the links and the one line Amazon requires.

What we're not asking for

We never ask for a positive review. You can give it one star. You can say you didn't finish it. The only thing we ask is that you actually read it and that you're honest — that's the entire point, and it's what keeps this legal.

Taking the first 100 readers

Sign up as a reader →

Free. No payment, ever.

Genre readers for your book. Reviews where they count.

We build you an ARC team from readers who already read your genre, and get honest reviews onto Amazon and Goodreads.

  1. 1

    Send us your book

    Title, genre, launch date, and the file. Takes two minutes.

  2. 2

    We match it to genre readers

    Not a mass blast. Readers who chose your genre, one book at a time, with deadlines and follow-ups we handle.

  3. 3

    Reviews land on Amazon and Goodreads

    With the required disclosure line, so they hold up. They also live permanently on your Knosit book page.

Genre-matched readers

Matched to your book's genre, not a random list.

Three-week turnaround

A clear deadline for every reader on your team.

Honest reviews only

No star minimums, no swaps, no paid reviews.

Built to keep your reviews

Review swaps get purged. We don't do them. Authors can't review other authors through us. We never require a minimum star rating, we never pay for reviews, and every reader posts the disclosure Amazon requires for a free copy. Slower than a swap network. Still there in six months.

What we can't promise

We can't promise the reviews will be positive, and we can't promise every reader will follow through — nobody in this business can. We're early, we're building this properly, and we'd rather tell you that up front.

Free while we're building. No card, no catch.

FAQ

Does it cost anything?
Nothing, for either side, while we're building the program. If that changes we'll say so clearly and anyone already in stays free.
Do I have to like the book?
No. Honest reviews only — including bad ones. Authors are told this before they sign up.
How do I get the book on my Kindle?
We deliver through BookFunnel, which walks you through it for any device. It takes about a minute.
Can I take more than one book at a time?
Not at first. One book, one review, then the next. It's the rule that keeps the program working.
Do I need an Amazon account?
To review on Amazon, yes — and Amazon requires some purchase history on the account before it lets you post. If you can't post there, you can still review on Goodreads and Knosit.
Is this allowed by Amazon?
Yes. Amazon permits reviews from free advance copies as long as the reviewer discloses it. We give you that line to include. What Amazon prohibits is paid reviews and review swaps — we don't do either.
I'm an author. How many readers will I get?
Depends on your genre and how many readers are free that week. We'll tell you the honest number before you commit.
