She recommends the $10 plan with the $2-per-reader option for non-fiction, notes that Book Sirens does not accept every submission, and explains that if accepted Book Sirens will promote the book for three months and you only pay when a reader downloads the full book file (you are paying Book Sirens to find readers, not paying readers for reviews).

Chapters

By Book Sirens website. There are a few different ways to pay and play with their service, so typically for a non fiction book I would Recommend Using the $10 plan with the $2 per reader option. The reason I say this is because we have found the service to be really hit or miss as far as whether your book will get reviews on their site. But it is cheaper if you do a prepaid year so you submit your book for consideration. You get billed a one time fee of $10 per book. If they accept your book and they do not accept every book, I can speak to that directly as self publish and succeed was not accepted. If you are accepted, they'll promote your book for three months to their community of readers, focusing on those who are most likely to read and review your book. These readers browse the website and get emails sent directly to them with selections. When someone downloads your book, you pay $2. Readers can click on your book as much as they want, but you only pay if they decide to download the full book file for reading. Also, you're not paying readers for reviews. Instead you're paying Book Sirens to find those readers.
