RE: Poetry Book Review: He Tried to Drown the Ocean, I waved
Nah, I just review all books I read for leisure (because both authors and readers deserve more reviews). In some cases, like this, the publisher sent me a free copy, so I get paid in a free book in exchange for an honest review, which is a win-win
it looks great to me! how did you get started can you give me some advice? I love reading. do you do it only on steemit? (ps: I don't want to steal your job, eh !!)
thanks. I started early last year. As an author myself, I came across Goodreads & realised how important reviews are, and so I started writing reviews for books I was reading. I post them on my blog and here.
Sometimes I've had people ask me from my site to review something, but other times it's either a book I get through netgalley (free digital review copies) or else I've come across authors asking for reivewers on Twitter, to whom I contacted & was sent their book.
Some people do charge money & offer their services like that, but I feel that a book is sufficient payment for me.
& there's not really much of a job to steal. the more of us, the merrier. it helps authors and readers and the book industry, I suppose.
oh, you opened a world to me. I had never thought of doing such a thing before, but being a writer you know how certain things work! thank you so much, readers forever!!
anything you enjoy doing can be offered as a service.
