If you read a good book what is the first thing you do? (Well, maybe a second after mourning that the adventure has ended, and you have to be at work in a few hours or less.) You tell people about it. What if you could get paid for it instead of just giving free advice? Rick Hipson’s new book, A Reviewer’s Guide to Writing Book Reviews, can help you get your foot in the door. Have you already been doing some reviews on the side? Hipson has you covered there as well. He has a little bit for everyone!
His friendly writing style explains the ins and outs of not only writing a good review but also how to expand your horizons in the field. Everything from where and how to get free books to read to where to send your finished piece. Hipson is more than qualified to help writers down the reviewing path with over 20 years of experience writing for such illuminaries such as Rue Morgue, Cemetery Dance as well as a ton of small press magazines and websites.
In the book he goes through his career as a book reviewer explaining what he did and what he might have done differently. The guide starts with an introduction, not only to the author but to the art of reviewing. As the book goes on layers of knowledge are added, building your reviewing skills thus increasing your chances of payment as well as possibly reviewing one of your favorite authors. All in all a good reference to keep on your shelf.
