Step 1 (Requesting a book to review)
After receiving the reviewer’s book request, print books are sent to the reviewer by mail, or in the case of an eBook, by email. Reviewers usually receive the print book within 1 - 2 weeks after submitting their request. EBooks are usually received within 24 - 48 hours.
Step 2 (Reviewing your book)
Reviewers are asked to read and submit their review within 4 - 6 weeks after receiving the book. Once the reviewer's review is written, the reviewer logs into LitPick and submits their review online. Reviews should follow a general format that includes a brief summary of the book and the reviewer's opinion. You can look at currently posted book reviews on LitPick for examples of our reviewer book review format. When reviewers log in to LitPick, they also receive instructions on how a review should be written.
Step 3 (Writing and submitting your review)
The reviewer's review is then forwarded to their sponsor for evaluation prior to being accepted and posted online at LitPick. When a reviewer is not sponsored by a specific educator, the review is evaluated by a LitPick staff member who has a background in education.
The adult sponsor evaluating the reviewer’s review either accepts the review for posting on LitPick (occasionally making minor corrections to the review) or sends a message back to the reviewer with specific recommendations on how he or she should edit their review. Once the review is edited by the reviewer, it is resubmitted for reevaluation and acceptance.
