Hello by Katerina

Post by Rousaki »

Hi all , I'm Katerina and I joined yesterday and I'm still trying to figure my way in here. I'm currently trying to figure out how to join a review team so that I can download books that need to be reviewed for free. Any suggestions are welcome.
Many thanks

Thank you for the link. I read this page last night. I observed that you need to be an author and submit your book to be reviewed. I do not have a book that needs to be reviewed. The only books I ever wrote is my masters thesis and my phd thesis. I would like to ask you if it would be possible to be a reviewer for the books of others and how would I be able to do that? Is there a link to follow ? Or a form to submit?
Thanks

You don't need to be an author to be a reviewer. You need to join the Review Team. The FAQ and that link explain about that.

Yes I have understood that I need to join the review team but the FAQs answer questions related to authors and I'm not one. Do I need to pay the money requested for an author as mentioned in the FAQs in order to join a review team? Can you provide a direct link about joining a team that has one link and clear instructions on how to join a review team ? Thanks

Welcome!

You CANNOT sign up as an author and also be a reviewer.

Did you mistakenly sign up as an author? If so, you need to indicate that you are not an author before you can sign up for the Review Team. You should be able to do this on the contact form.

As for how to join, the very first section of the FAQs explains how and guides you in joining the Review Team. Further info is available in the thread gali linked to.

Please note that all the information necessary for joining the Review Team is available either in that thread, or behind one of the links provided there.

I signed up as an author and the FAQ options that it gives me are all related to authors . Is it possible to correct this via this account or do I need to close this account and make a new one?

No need to open a new account. You should report it via your Author dashboard or the Contact Page.
