Book Reviewing

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Book Reviewing

Post by Zoe303 »

Hello!

I'm not sure I understand the book reviewing system in the forum. Can I review books without being a member of the Professional Review Team or Volunteer Review Team? If so, where should I post?

Thank you!

You can, but you won't get credit or get paid for them.

No. Access to paid reviews depends on your level and score. The score tab explains all about it.

If I decided to join the Review Team, can I review whatever book I read or it has to be a book that is suggested for me here?
