highpotinnooseApparently, being a freelance book reviewer is a thing. In hindsight, it makes sense considering that book reviews have to come from somewhere, and it's unlikely the number of book reviews that exist are ALL provided by enthusiastic volunteers.
A new avenue of side-hustling? Maybe. There's no reason not to try it out, if nothing else.
I'm also rather impressed by the number of places that are looking for book reviewers. The amount I've found so far isn't huge or anything, but certainly more than I would have thought. Though, since I never would have thought any number at all due to my ignorance, that likely isn't saying much. I've got nearly two handfuls of sites to check out; whether that's a lot or not, it's certainly seems promising.
I'm going to see I'll have any luck with these:
There were a few other sites that I found through a recommendation list, but they ask for resumes and samples of past reviews, and obviously I have no background in this, so I had to abandon those. Perhaps I'll go back later if I have any success with these that don't require previous experience.
