"In the arts, the critic is the only independent source of information.  The rest is advertising."

                                                                                                                                                                               ---Pauline Kael

 

                               Jenna Glatzer talks about this job of reviewing: The Reviewer’s Responsibility


To read Jenna’s full thoughts on this go to:

http://www.absolutewrite.com/freelance_writing/reviewers_responsibility.htm

“A reviewer’s responsibility is to the publication’s readers,” she says and I agree.  I write

for readers not for the author or publisher. 

 

 Need a book reviewed? Need a blurb for the inside or back cover?

                        Please email me Cfrancine@mail2world.com.    

 

                     Look for my byline on the back of books and reviews online and off.

                     Please know that I get a lot of requests for reviews.  This means there is usually a stack of books waiting on my

                    desk.  I go as fast as I can, but I want to do a good job and really get into your book.  I've also decided to

                    finish my English degree in Children's Literature.  Please be patient.  I will let you know when your book arrives

                    (sometimes things DO get lost in the mail) to give you peace of mind.  After I've written a review on your book,

                    I'll give you a copy if you request it.

 

                    I usually write reviews for:
                    
www.yetanotherbookreview.com (Closed)
                   
*  www.midwestbookreview.com
                  
 *  www.thebookforum.com
                   
*  www.forewordreviews.com (they usually contact me though w/a specific book.  If you’re interested in working with        

                        Forewordreviews contact them directly, not me.)

 

                   You are free to use the review in whole or in part as long as it is in good taste, and has my name next to what you

                    use (Christina Francine) AND my email address  Cfrancine@mail2world.com .
