I'm looking to get into book reviewing & trying to find an entry point. Last year I had posted a question about this & someone wrote with a contact at PW. I saved the info, meaning to contact the person, and then my husband had a bike accident & broke his arms & in all the craziness surrounding that I erased the email & sort of forgot about the whole thing.

But I've started thinking about it again & realize this is something I do want to try. So if anyone knows of a good starting point or person to contact, I'd really appreciate it.

I know it's unpaid or low pay at first & that's fine. I just want to get clips.

Thanks!

The only two I've been in contact with are Charlotte Abbott and Sarah Gold, but it really depends on what your area of expertise is. They're e-mail formula is: firstinitiallastname@reedbusiness.com

Thanks so much. The name Sarah Gold sounds familiar to me--I think that was the contact someone mentioned to me earlier. I will try writing to both of them.

Hi Harlemwriter
I tried to email you to give you some email addresses. Long story short, i host a radio show over the internet and have received FREE books from Harper Collins, and am happy to give you their email addresses, i booked their authors on my show, one is a Pulitzer Prize winner/journalist and author William Dietrich.

If they helped me, i am sure they will help you.

My email is betsybalega@yahoo.com

Feel free to write to me. Just put Book Reviews in the subject line.

Good ... um, i mean, Break a Femur.
