Need a Book Review? List of Book Reviewers Here

Reviews sell products and books, but authors need folks to write book reviews for them. Are you interested in providing book reviews for authors? If you love to read books and give your opinion about them, I can direct authors to you. They will send you a complimentary copy of their book, and, in turn, you will provide a book review by posting it on Amazon.com or sending the digital copy directly to the author.

Simply leave a comment below this post and give us your blog URL. Then, make sure your blog has a way for people to contact you such as a Twitter connection, an active profile, or information that directs people to the contact page of your Web site. (I don't advise you to leave your home phone number or an exposed email address on the Internet.)

Here is a good format to follow in setting up and writing your book review:

Give your book review a title
Book Title: In bold italic font
Author of book:
ISBN:
Publisher and pub year
Pages:
Reviewer Byline: your name or short bio (date of review)

Your credibility is enhanced when your reviews are a blend of balanced opinion and concrete example. Please offer your reader an idea of what the author intends to share and a recommendation of whether or not to read the book.
