# Why can't people post reviews of my book on Amazon?
Amazon has specific guidelines for posting reviews. Reviewers must have an active Amazon account and must have spent at least $50 on Amazon within the past 12 months. If these criteria aren’t met, Amazon will block their review. This policy applies even if the reviewer received an author review copy of your book.
