Exciting News: We’re Expanding Our Reviewer Team!
Hello, fellow book lovers! We’ve got an exciting opportunity for you to join our team of dedicated reviewers here at Crossroad Reviews. Some of our current team members are moving on to new adventures, which means we have openings for fresh voices and perspectives. If you’re passionate about books and want to help promote new titles, now’s your chance to get involved!
Take a moment to explore the different reviewer roles we’re offering and see which one aligns with your interests and schedule. We’ll do our best to accommodate your availability and work with you to get you set up. Let’s dive into what being a part of the team entails!
What Does a Reviewer Do?
As a reviewer for Crossroad Reviews, you’ll read both books you’ve selected yourself and those sent to us by authors, publishers, and promotional groups. We aim to post reviews within a set timeframe, so it’s important to stay on schedule. Honesty is key—we expect all our reviewers to provide their genuine opinions, and we never guarantee a 5-star review. Your thoughts and feedback are valued above all else!
How Much Do I Need to Read?
We ask our reviewers to read at least three books per month, but if you’re able to read more, that’s fantastic! Your help is key in keeping our review calendar full and our readers engaged.
Social Media, Photos, and Posts
While having a strong social media presence can help you grow your followers, it’s not a requirement. What we do ask is that you share photos of the books you’ve read so we can feature them on our social media platforms. If you have an active social media account, we’ll tag you in our posts.
For reviews, all we need from you is the book title, author, rating, review, and a link to the book on Goodreads. This helps us streamline our posting process. If you’re active on Goodreads, please note that you’ll need to create a separate review for our site to avoid duplication.
US vs. International Reviewers
At this time, we can only accept reviewers based in the United States due to shipping costs and the complexity of international device compatibility for Kindle books.
Cost to Join
There’s a small monthly fee to help cover the costs of running the site, including email services, our website, and shipping materials for giveaways. All reviewers will be responsible for a $10/month fee.
What Do You Get as a Reviewer?
The perks of being a reviewer vary depending on which reviewer role you choose. Here’s what you can expect:
- Kindle Reviewer: You’ll gain access to 5,000+ eBooks on our Kindle account, plus any print books we receive. You’ll also get a dedicated reviewer page on our site to share your reviews.
- Print-Only Reviewer: You’ll have access to print copies of the books we receive, which are sent directly to you. You’ll also get to choose books from our available print options.
- Your Own Books: You can still request books for review, but you'll be responsible for the shipping and obtaining your own eBook copies.
