Making of the book
ON ACCEPTANCE OF OUR WORK BY YOU, WE SEEK YOUR PAYMENT OF 100 USD* FOR A BOOK.
BEWARE:
Authors put in genuine efforts and often expect knee-jerk sales most naively. But sadly, there is no silver bullet to bring a whopping sale. It can only be stage managed for sometime. We therefore do not make such avowals though this website has a Google ranking but we stop short to make tall SEO claims. We honour writers and do not make false promises. Please do not expect a magic wand from anyone however much established.
We do not give ratings for books as we feel it is very often a rather misleading volatile index.

Dear Authors and Publishers,
Greetings!
BookReviews.Today is awaiting to bedazzle your books. We would be more than happy to do justice to your pursuits and feature authors. These are not reader reviews!
Our reviews are not opinion snippets but tenaciously discuss the book at length. We churn out different perspectives and scenarios that set it apart - to perceive beyond the apparent thereby adding a fifth dimension to fiction books. It becomes your cherishing possession like illustrations and book cover.
We also feature you!
We also put up a separate page on making of the book. There's a separate page on author's profile too. Later author talks on YouTube may follow. We put up certain scenarios from the books for the author to dwell on.
So this author feature is not a one-time touch and go affair but includes ongoing activities to know you and your work better. We remain with you to glean upon multifaceted accretions gathering upon the book.
Our reviews are not summaries to spill the beans and quench the reader's gusto to buy and read the book. We whet even a willy-nilly reader to grab the book.
We do not give ratings for books as we feel it is very often a rather misleading volatile index. We are absolutely not after cranking up crass popularity in anyhow manner. We uphold the merit of the book and its making and the outlook of the author.
We in future plan for a Reader's Corner to prod readers to write your bit at certain places and you judge their acumen. Nothing binding on your part to undertake all this.
And yes, no ad rats to nibble your pages, we vouch to remain ad free.
We request you to send a reviewer's copy of your eBook in PDF/EPUB format for us to work upon. Book trailer, author talk videos, some author face close-up pics etc are also expected as per your convenience. All content should be owned by the author and links to other's channels can't be accepted by us.
No money is charged upfront! If you find our work has been worthwhile and you're convinced, please DONATE 100 USD* for one book immediately on work acceptance. We're not seeking any charity donation. Only for the service rendered once accepted by you. A book review done in our way involves several rigorous days of dedication and we incur considerable expenses.
Authors can update their profiles at any point of time by sending videos and posters.
Let us not be a victim of what Lucio warns in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure:
"Our doubts are traitors
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt."
We root for authors to flourish!
Thank you for your interest in us.

Bookreviews.Today
*100 USD for books with less than 300-page books; 20 USD for every hundred pages going over 300 pages
Some authors ask us why they should be paying for a review
Along with book review, a compreensive author profile is maintained comprising 4-5 pages besides allocating plum space on the homepage itself. From time to time eclectic LinkedIn posts are sent. The author profiles are also updated at regular intervals on receiving inputs from authors. It is an ongoing affair with cascading benefits that accrue over time.
Our reviews at www.BookReviewsToday are not from a casual reader or a customer but are done by established writers like what happens at several illustrious mainstream newspapers and review journals where the expert reviewers are paid by its publisher and in turn these publications solicit donations. They have their ad revenue too. Look at us! We’re not even garnering revenue through ads for the sake of maintaining pristine vibes. A give and take has to happen for economic viability. An author is not offering charity but yet is doing welfare to society and so are we. If a book illustrator or an editor is paid why not a professional reviewer? This is not a customer or a reader review.
Sadly, the makeup of an intended book review has been compromised for hard selling. The parody goes that some authors do not even know about the hallmark of book reviews but brazenly crave for some frenzied superlatives and star ratings of reviews. Our attempt at www.bookreviews.today is not at making flippant reader reviews but churn out more of a biographical feature, the main component being the analytical book review. Also our reviews are not snippets but are longish standing at 1000 words unless it is a booklet.
On the top of all we often render a fifth dimension to books with a new perspective beyond the apparent.
If authors do not contribute some of their profile details, then a void remains but that is not our stinted attempt. Please read our book reviews and author profiles to feel the difference.
