Leanpub Currently Doesn't Have a Review Feature, Sorry!

Currently we don't have a reviews feature, partly because so many Leanpub books are written in-progress, and they can be changed anytime, which complicates the review situation. However, we may revisit this decision in the future.

If you would like to vote for Leanpub to add a reviews feature for readers to review Leanpub books and courses, please @mention us on social media somewhere with your feedback!

Contacting a Leanpub Author with a Testimonial or Link to a Review You Have Written

While we don't have a reviews feature, you can offer authors a testimonial that they may want to add to their Leanpub book.

If you've published a review of a Leanpub book somewhere, you can also contact the author to let them know about it.

If you would like to contact a Leanpub author to provide them with a testimonial, or a link to a review you have written somewhere on the web, please read this article about how we can help you get in touch:

Does Leanpub Have a Behind-the-Scenes Review Process?

At Leanpub, we actually do not have a behind-the-scenes review process.

Our platform is designed mostly for use by self-published authors, who each have their own approach to the review process, as do any independent book publishers who use Leanpub to distribute their ebooks.

With that being said, in a sense, reviewing is baked into Leanpub's approach to self-publishing every step of the way. We encourage authors to publish their books chapter-by-chapter, as they write them, with readers getting all future updates for free, and offering their feedback to the author, as the author adds more content to their book.

If you would like to contact an author of a Leanpub book to offer to review their book, or with any feedback about what they're written (or what you'd like them to write!), you can use this feature to contact them:
