Will my billing statement appear as billed by Pacific Book Review?
No, it will be under Pacific Communication Group a division of Pacific Book Review.

 

Why do some reviews use a star rating system and some have no rating?
Prior to 2010 we used the Star System to further rate books however changed our process to become more focused as a review resource and feel comparative rating is inappropriate.  Book reviews listed with a Star Rating were reviewed prior to this year.



Does the press release service guarantee publication in all of the media sites?  
Although PBR drafts and distributes a professional quality press review to thousands of media sites, it is not under our control to represent the number of published press releases which may occur.  Media sites welcome publicists and review service press packages, however they are usually inundated with thousands, or tens of thousands of requests per period, and choose a percentage of submissions.
 
 

How do you manage to send out so many press packages?
PBR pays an annual membership to an organization used to disseminate the press material to each site.  As with many marketing efforts, success is achieved by "numbers." 

  

Will I be guaranteed a good review?
No.  At Pacific Book Review we offer professional, honest, and unbiased book reviews.  Should you not be satisfied with your review, we will give you the option to have your review removed from our site.
