It Pays to Read: Book Reviewing Basics
A six-week class taught by an experienced book reviewer
designed to teach you how to earn money doing what you love-- reading!
Plus, get a free paying markets list just for book reviewers!
Goals of the class:
1. Students will have the skills and knowledge needed to obtain and complete freelance book reviewing assignments.
2. Students will also be familiar with the criteria for evaluating fiction and nonfiction books.
Class structure:
This is a six-week course. The first five weeks students will receive a lesson and assignment on Mondays. I will be available by e-mail to answer any questions or concerns students may have throughout the week. Assignments should be turned in by e-mail (no attachments) by Friday at 5:00 p.m. EST. Assignments will be returned to students, with feedback, by Monday morning.
The final, sixth week, there will be no formal lesson, however, I will be providing individual instruction based on the student's needs-- critiques of queries or reviews, assistance with market research, further discussion of lessons, etc.
At the conclusion of the class, students will receive a free book reviewer's markets list-- 50 publications open to freelance book review queries.
