So I sent out a number of ARC's prior to publication, and when my book released yesterday I sent out messages to the readers asking them to post. I know for a fact at least one posted their review, but it hasn't shown up on the Amazon page yet. But a reader who bought it yesterday managed to post their review, and that does show up.
Is Amazon delaying them because they're not confirmed owners? I had just sent them the epub of the manuscript prior to publication, and since it's published on Kindle Select, I can see how Amazon would be suspicious. Do I need to gift them a free copy before it'll let them post? I know Amazon has rules about who it lets post, but my readers didn't mention any difficulties...
