Do You Like to Read? Book Reviewers Wanted | World of Psychology

Would you like to help review books for Psych Central? We?re always looking for new book reviewers to review books in psychology, self-help, emotional wellness, relationships and related topics.

Interested reviewers should have excellent reading comprehension skills as well as writing skills. We?re looking for reviewers who can succinctly summarize sometimes-lengthy material, and give their honest editorial opinion about the value of the book for its intended audience.

We pay for book reviews, too. If you live in the United States and are interested, please, read on?

Reviewers need to turn around their book review within 2 to 4 weeks upon receipt of the book.

Not only do book reviewers get a complimentary review copy of the book they are reviewing (yours to keep!), but we also pay a set fee per review (it?s not much and you won?t be able to quit your full-time job, but it?s better than what most websites pay). Reviews should be at least 800 words in length. We?ll give you further editorial guidelines when you get your first book to review.

While we don?t require a resume, we do need to know that you?re qualified and have some experience writing for a consumer audience. So if you?re interested in reviewing a book for us, please submit a writing sample (an existing book review would be great!) to:

newreviews at psychcentral.com

You must submit a writing sample to be considered.

We usually give new reviewers one book to try out to see if you meet our expectations (and yours!). If it works out for both of us, you?ll be welcomed to review as many books as you?d like in the months to come.

We?re sorry, but you must reside in the U.S. at this time in order to review books for us. We apologize that we cannot accept every reviewer who writes us.
