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 requests: pick the site (Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, or another) 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 move your ARC reliability score.
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 ARC hub › My requests, 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; you can remove a mark at any time. 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 {release date}.
What it counts for
- The author's Applications row shows one chip per site, Cross-posted · {site}. 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 on your ARC record: a campaign owner who opens your application sees cross-posted {n} times beside your reliability. The reliability score itself never moves for a cross-post, marked or missing; it is about 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
- ARC reviews and your reliability: An ARC review follows one extra rule, honesty; your reliability measures follow-through (reviewed, or honestly set down) and on-time reviews, never how kindly you rate. Set a book down from My requests rather than going silent; ask for more time before the deadline.
- Requesting an ARC: When an author runs an active campaign, the book page shows Request an advance copy and the ARC hub lists it under Opportunities with your openly computed match; 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 1 to 5 star rating (whole stars) with an optional title and a body of at least 20 characters, plus a spoiler flag; edit or delete it from the book page. Reviews of ARCs carry the ARC reader badge and one extra rule, honesty.
- What the campaign funnel shows, cross-posts included: Studio, Analytics, Campaign funnel 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.
