🎉August 2026 News & Updates🎉

Written by Kevin

Things are moving fast at Book Bounty, and we’ve got plenty to share! 🚀 From new ways to help authors with their books to improvements that make the Book Bounty experience safer and better for everyone, we’ve been busy behind the scenes.

As always, none of this happens without you. Every book discovered, bounty completed, and review shared helps make this community stronger. We’re excited about where we’re headed, and we think you’re going to like what’s coming next.

🚨New Features Dropping Now🚨

🎥 Image and Video requests 📸

A great review is already valuable, but adding a photo or video can take it to another level! 📸🎥

We're excited to introduce a new option for Verified Purchase Print Bounties. Publishers can now request that readers include an image or video along with their review, giving potential readers an even better look at the book and the reader's experience.

Whether it's a photo of a coloring book in action, a peek inside a journal, or a quick video showing off a favorite feature, visual content can make a review more engaging and helpful.

🛡️ Keeping It Balanced

With great new features come a few guardrails. We have put some protection limits in place on how many image and video requests a book can have at time, as well as how many of these bounties a reader can take at a time.

The goal is to keep visual reviews natural, authentic, and spread out over time, rather than having too many image or video requests happening too fast or all at once. Remember, it doesn't take a lot of image and video reviews to make an impact for your book.

We're excited to help give you another way to make books stand out while keeping the experience healthy and balanced for everyone.

🎨📚 Cover Feedback 📚🎨

Which cover would make you stop scrolling? 👀

We’re always looking for new ways to help you succeed beyond simply getting reviews. This month, we’re adding another publishing tool designed to tap into one of the best resources we have: each other!

Let’s be honest, choosing a book cover can be tough. You stare at two, three, or even ten different designs and think, "Which one would readers actually pick up?" 🤔

Most of us turn to friends, family, fellow authors, or publishing groups to get opinions before making that final decision.

Now you can get that feedback right here in Book Bounty!

🎨 Ask the Community

With the Cover Feedback area, you can now share your cover designs with other authors and publishers in the Book Bounty community and get their opinions before you commit to your final design. Whether you're working on a brand-new book, experimenting with a new cover, or thinking about giving an existing book a fresh new look, you can get feedback from your fellow publishing peers before making the final call.

Want to know which cover catches people's attention?
Trying to decide between two different designs?
Not sure if your title and imagery are working together?

Put it to the community and see what your fellow publishing peers think!

The goal is simple: help each other make better publishing decisions.

🎁 Help an Author, Earn a Few Bonus Points!

We also wanted to make participating fun. Readers who take a little time to provide helpful feedback on another author's cover can earn Bonus Points for lending a hand.

It's a simple way to encourage everyone to pitch in, share their opinions, and help fellow authors make their books the best they can be.

The goal is simple: help each other make better publishing decisions.

Book Bounty is about more than books and reviews. It’s about authors helping authors, sharing ideas, and learning from one another.

And remember, your opinion might be exactly what another author needs to make their cover click! 💛

Book Bounty is about more than books and reviews. It’s about authors helping authors, sharing ideas, and learning from one another.

So, before you hit Publish, why not ask the community:

“Which cover would YOU choose?” 👀📖

Here is a quick video on how the new Cover Feedback tool works:

🚨More New Features Coming Soon!🚨

Even with everything we’ve already rolled out, we’re now slowing down! We know great features take time to build, test, and get right. Our team is continuing to work behind the scenes to bring you even more tools and improvements. We’re excited about what’s ahead, and we can’t wait to keep adding new ways to make Book Bounty even more useful for authors and publishers.

Here’s some of the things we still have coming! 👀

  • Bounty Point Boosters: We've heard your request to give your bounty a little extra horsepower? Soon, you’ll be able to boost your bounties with additional Bounty Points

  • Return of Free Promotion Bounties: We understand how beneficial Free Promotion days are, and with the changes Amazon made we have to be cautious. We want to bringing this feature back with the goal of avoiding review spikes and keeping product and reviewing at a natural pace.

  • Community Features: New tools to enhance the experience, encourage more feedback, block unwanted reviewers and overall improved community engagement, all while keeping everything anonymous and Amazon compliant.

  • Point History & Reporting: A new point history area for clearer tracking and better reporting of your Bounty Points.

  • More we have in store: And there’s even more happening behind the scenes that we’re not quite ready to reveal yet. 🤫 We’ve got some exciting ideas in the works, so stay tuned. We’ll be sharing more when the time is right!

🎆Thank You!🎆

There’s always another book to discover, another author to support, and another opportunity to help someone in the community take the next step.

Thank you for being part of Book Bounty and for helping make this more than just a place to find reviews. It’s a community of authors and readers working together, sharing ideas, and cheering each other on.

We’re continuing to build, improve, and dream up new ways to make Book Bounty better. Some of our biggest ideas are still behind the curtain, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next. 👀🚀

Here’s to more great reads, more connections, and plenty of publishing wins ahead! 🚀📚

Quote of the day:
​“Being an author means spending months writing a book, weeks publishing it, and approximately 47 seconds wondering why it isn’t a bestseller yet.” 😂📚🚀

Tips, Tricks and Tools for Publishers

The result: higher-quality books, written faster, without the rewrite chaos or ghostwriter costs.
