Book Buyers Review

How can I get paid to write book reviews?

babysummy08 asked:


A family member suggested that I hook up with a publishing company that pays the public to read manuscripts and write reviews for them before they go to print, but I don’t know how to get into it.. How can I go about doing this?

   Find the address of some major publishing companies and write to their personnel or HR departments and ask if they’re hiring. Enclose a copy of your resume showing any relevant courses or experience.

   (I really love to read, unfortunately, doesn’t count as relevant coursework or experience.)

   Find some books/writers you really like and then write the publisher a nice cover letter and send them a resume.
