Can I Post Reviews Elsewhere on the Web?

[s-e-hood]

Hi,

So I was curious, when I start writing official reviews, can I post them on other sites too? I thought I might post some of my reviews on my blog, as well as on Amazon and Goodreads. Just wanted to make sure there wouldn't be a problem with doing that.

Thanks!

Official reviews should only be posted here.

I hope that helps

It might be worth contacting Scott about it, however. He may gave permission to post the review elsewhere if you cite the website when you post it

All right will do. Thank you!

I am pretty sure the official reviews are exclusive to this site and can't be published or posted elsewhere. It's possible that you can post a link to the review here.

Here is a direct quote from the review team's guidelines:

The review must be original, meaning you cannot plagiarize part or all of it. The review is exclusive to OnlineBookClub.org, meaning you cannot post it on another website. If you have a blog or personal website, we hope you post a link to the review on your website, or you can feel free to write a different review of the book on your website, or summarize the review in different words on your website. Reviews will be checked for plagiarism or violations of the exclusivity agreement, and violations will result in being booted from the program and revocation of any payments. Please note, you are being given a book for free that is normally sold for a price (and in some cases being given an additional monetary payment) in exchange for writing the review and giving it exclusively to OnlineBookClub.org, and we may have specific arrangements with the author/publisher regarding when, if ever, and in what ways we will publish the review, which is why it is important that this system isn't undermined by the review being something that is already published elsewhere whether because it was plagiarized illegally or because it has been distributed in violation of this agreement. If you really want to publish the review elsewhere such as on a personal blog, you can contact me after it has been published publicly here for permission to be exempt from the exclusivity agreement which I will generally be happy to give, especially provided you link back to the original posting of the review.
