'''Can You Write Book Reviews? Would You Like Free Books?'''
'''What we're looking for...'''
People who love reading and who get excited about books. People who just can't wait to tell everyone all about the great novel they've just read. People who understand that the reader wants to know what the reviewer thinks about the book and not just what's written on the back cover. People who can write in a knowledgeable but conversational tone, akin to a good quality blog post. Students: please note that this isn't the place for essays; it's a place that approaches reading for fun. We're sharing recommendations and discrecommendations, not trying to impress anyone with our lit crit skills.
We offer two ways to 'get your name in lights'. Some people would love to see their review up on the screen, but don't really want to continue with us on a long-term basis. That's fine. Just tell us up-front that's what you have in mind, but please don't say that you'd like further books if that's going to be a problem for you. Send us your review as explained in ''How to Apply…'' and we'll see if it meets our standards.
On the other hand, some people love the idea of getting free books which they can review. If that's what you have in mind just tell us that you'd like to continue reviewing for us.
Most of the publishers from whom we accept books are based in the UK and so we're sorry, but if you don't live in the UK, we won't consider you. Also, we've had problems both sending and receiving emails via Hotmail and we're sorry that we're no longer able to accept reviewers who only supply a Hotmail address.
