Want To Write Book Reviews?

For more than a year now I have been writing book reviews for the NYJB. They are seeking more reviewers. If you are interested please read the information below.

NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS, adding reviewers with your expertise. Aim to become premier source—bar none—for professional, respected book reviews. Recently profiled in Publishers Weekly. (nyjb.net)

NYJB has recently been profiled by Publishers Weekly because it is the one existing online review that has captured the attention of the publishing world. The New Yorker also recently cited NYJB. Our reviewers are both published authors and others able to write compelling reviews of books covering areas of their professional or equivalent expertise.

Currently 135+ reviewers.
Our reviewers have written:
500+ traditionally published books
500+ published short stories and poems
24+ plays
12+ screenplays/teleplays
20,000 articles (our reviewers with long careers add substantially to these numbers)
3,800 reviews of books (about 600 for New York Journal of Books)
Our reviewers are also winners of more than 75 literary and professional awards.

Visit us at nyjournalofbooks.com or nyjb.net to see the future of book reviewing. This should help you decide if you’d like to review or perhaps just introduce you to a highly professional online book review.

We are increasingly quoted, traffic to the site has grown dramatically, feedback is 100% positive, and we are swamped with requests for reviews. We generally publish reviews at 12:01 A.M. on date of release so that we are the first review of any new book we critique.

The Journal reviews both mainstream releases as well as many books in niche or non-mainstream genres and books by first-time authors than are infrequently covered by the current major review publications.

Our permanent website after months on beta is up. We are deep into the remaining administrative tech work that introduces new state-of–the-art function to the publishing world.
Reviewers all set their own pace for submitting reviews and are never asked to review books they prefer not to read.

We do not anticipate any material profit until we are able to focus singularly on commercializing, once the tech build is complete. And so, we are unable to pay reviewers for the reviews they contribute. However, we believe that most writers are underpaid for their work. It is our sincere hope and plan that the success of the New York Journal of Books will become a material source of supplementary income for all reviewers.

If interested in reviewing, please visit: http://www.nyjournalofbooks.com/reviewer-application or send the same info to:

Only COMPLETE applications can be considered.

While you will be asked to note frequency of reviews, we understand that circumstances change and you will always set your own pace.

Thank you.
The editors of New York Journal of Books
