FAQ

What is the Zando Influencer Program?

The Zando Influencer Program (ZIP) offers advance copies (both print and e-galleys) of select books Zando publishes across all of our imprints.

How does the Zando Influencer Program work?

  • ZIP members receive a quarterly email with e-galley access and have the opportunity to receive advance print copies of our books. So, ZIP members really are VIPs.

  • Additionally, ZIP members get early access to select giveaways, special swag, and occasional partnership opportunities.

What are you looking for in an applicant?

We're looking for active influencers who want to share their book reviews across their channels. We don’t currently have requirements for follower counts. Our ideal applicant? Someone who gets an early copy of a book, loves it, and then posts a review on social media or sites such as Goodreads and Storygraph.

What are the requirements to apply?  

You need…

  • an active, public Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook account

  • to live in the US

  • to be at least 18 years old

How many physical review copies can I get?

We ask that influencers pick their top two favorite titles from each quarterly solicitation. Please note: selections are not guaranteed and are available only while supplies last.

When does Zando send out physical review copies?

As soon as we have galleys available in our warehouse. Trust us, we can’t wait for them to get here either!

Can I get compensated for being part of the ZIP program?

We do not offer compensation for free copies of our books. If you have a multi-piece partnership pitch for one book that you read and loved, stats for your content’s performance, and can bill via an LLC, please email us at community@zandoprojects.com with the headline PARTNERSHIP PITCH: [Book Title].

For questions, please contact community@zandoprojects.com.
