Hey friends! If reading and discussing books puts you in your happy place, I hope you’ll join me today over at The Professional Writer Podcast, where I recently had the privilege of chatting with host Laura Christianson on all things book reviews.

In this fun episode, I introduce Laura and listeners to the world of book reviewing. Together we discuss:

(1) who should – and shouldn’t – become a book reviewer

(2) what readers, publishers, and authors look for in a book reviewer

(3) four ways to get started reviewing books

(4) how to write a balanced, fair review, and

(5) how to follow up with the publicist/author after you publish your review.

Few things bring a book lover more joy than recommending books they love. So even if you have no aspirations to becoming a book reviewer, I think you’ll enjoy listening in to our conversation. Tune in here or by subscribing to The Professional Writer Podcast via your favorite podcast platform.
