At one point I was doing weekly reviews for a site, unpaid, the only upside being that you would have a little something to put on your resume. The site didn't care at all what you reviewed, as long as it came out that week and you paid for it yourself. I did notice the one time I was overly critical of an issue, the review didn't get ran. To this day, I still believe it was shelved because it gave an extremely negative review and, as you pointed out in your previous column, this is a small community of people. Since then, I've always believed that online reviewers have only one of two goals in mind: to make the creators like them or to draw attention to themselves by pissing people off. Either way, I think it's almost impossible to find reviews that don't have any agenda larger than telling readers if the writer liked the book and why or why not.lpierce30https://www.blogger.com/profile/16640083563437779690noreply@blogger.com
