Thank you for your interest in becoming
a Readers Favorite Reviewer!

If you have a passion for reading and a desire to help authors then we would love to have you on the Readers Favorite team! We do require that you have good writing skills, not only so that you can produce informative reviews, but so that you can recognize the quality of the work you are reviewing. In addition, you need to be willing to review electronic versions of authors' books. Many of our review submissions come as some type of ebook or PDF, which you can view on your computer, Kindle, Nook, etc..

We will cover the cost of shipping all physical books to you. However, we can only ship to US residents. International reviewers will have to choose from our electronic/PDF books.

You will be able to login and view our list of hundreds of available books, which have descriptions and comments from the authors, as well as other information so that you can select the ones you are interested in. You can even download them first to check them out before deciding to review them. We also send you an email each time a new book is posted with all the pertinent information about the book for your convenience.

Once you select a book, you can immediately download the electronic version of the book (if available), or we will mail you the book at our expense. You will be required to complete your review within 3 weeks and post it through our convenient online form.


Review Ownership
You retain complete ownership of your reviews. By agreeing to review for us, you agree to give us credit in the review as "Reviewed for Readers Favorite" and grant us permanent rights to post your review on our site as well as Barnes & Noble and Facebook. When we do, we will include your name to give you proper credit for the review: "Reviewed by [YOUR NAME] for Readers Favorite." We will also post your biography and picture on our About Us page and link it to your website, blog or Facebook page.


Reviewer Ratings
Because it is critical that our reviewers provide quality reviews, we ask our authors to review your review. When you complete a review, the author will be able to login to their Author's Area and rate that review on a five-star scale as well as provide some brief comments.

We use this information to help us ensure the quality of our reviewers and reviews. We will provide this feedback to you so you can improve your skills. Don't be afraid of these ratings, and don't be afraid of being honest. Sometimes it's the poor reviews we give authors that wind up helping them the most.

Remember, authors are resilient people. They want the truth, and we want you to give it to them. All we ask is that you read their book completely and provide an honest review.


Reviewer Annual Giveaway
Although this is a volunteer position, you will be compensated with lots of great free books to read, increasing notoriety and experience as a book reviewer and the knowledge that you are helping authors and readers. You may also request a letter of recommendation from Debra Gaynor detailing the quality and amount of work you do for Readers Favorite for your resume.

In an effort to show our gratitude to our volunteers for their hard work and generosity, we hold an annual Reviewer Giveaway. For each review you complete, you will earn one entry into the giveaway. The more books you review, the more entries you will earn, and the greater your chance of winning. Each year in early December we will give away over $1,000 in Barnes & Noble e-gift certificates.

Any reviewer who does not win at least $100 will have their review points rollover each year to increase their odds of winning. Once a reviewer wins $100 their review points will be reset to zero.
