Cross-posting your review, and telling the author
For readersUpdated 2 min read
Some campaigns ask you to cross-post your review to a retailer or review site. Once you have, mark it from My early copies: pick the site (Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, or Other) and paste the link. Booklabria does not check the other site; the mark is yours, and the campaign owner sees it beside your record and in their funnel. Cross-posts never change your follow-through.
The short answer
When it applies
A campaign's requirements can include cross-post the review to at least one retailer or review site. You agreed to it when you requested. Booklabria cannot see other sites, so you tell it. The button and the chip appear only on campaigns that list the requirement; a campaign that did not ask has neither.
Marking a cross-post
- Post your review on the other site as you would anyway.
- In the Early copies › My early copies, on the copy, press Mark where you posted.
- Pick where (Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, or Other) and paste the link to your review there. Other takes only the link, no site name. The link has to be on the site you picked; that is the only check. Mark as posted.
You can mark more than one site, once per site. The link is kept with your application, and each chip has Remove while you want it gone. On a coming-soon book the button opens on the release day, when your held review goes live (Reviews held until launch); until then it reads Opens on June 14.
What it counts for
- The author's Applications row shows one chip per site, Cross-posted · Goodreads. Their campaign funnel counts the readers who cross-posted, with a line per site under it (8 on Amazon · 3 on Goodreads · 1 elsewhere).
- Booklabria does not check the other site: nothing is fetched, no retailer is polled. The mark is yours, and a false one is a guidelines matter.
- It shows beside your follow-through: a campaign owner who opens your application sees cross-posted 3 times. Your follow-through itself never changes for a cross-post, marked or missing; it counts the review here: written, on time, or a DNF you said so about.
- A cross-post never replaces the review on Booklabria: the deadline is for the review here.
Where this lives
Related
- Early copy reviews and your follow-through: An early copy review follows one extra rule, honesty; your follow-through counts reviews (or honest set-downs) and on-time reviews, never how kindly you rate. Set a book down from My early copies rather than going silent; ask for more time before the deadline.
- Requesting an early copy: When an author runs an active campaign, the book page shows Request this copy and the **Early copies** page lists it under **Free early copies** with the reasons it fits you; a request carries a short note, waits for the author's decision, and can be cancelled while pending. There is no waitlist.
- Writing reviews: A review is a star rating (press a star for a whole one, or use Exact rating for any quarter step) with an optional title and a body of at least 20 characters, plus a spoiler flag; edit or delete it from the book page. You can also say how the book felt, up to three moods and a pace; the book's page shows what most readers found once five have said. Reviews of early copies carry the early reader badge and one extra rule, honesty.
- What the campaign funnel shows, cross-posts included: Studio, Readers, Early copies counts every stage of a campaign: Applications, Approved, Downloaded (an approval, a delivery-link claim or a certified send each count as one reader), Reviewed, Cross-posted (as readers mark them, with a line per site), Kept following, with lines for DNF and held reviews. Counts, never names, each with its definition on the page. A giveaway has no funnel.
