Looking for book reviewers
October 10, 2007
Specifically of technical books. I’ve got a small backlog of books I wanted reviewed for techbookreviews.com. I thought I had more time than I did, but I don’t (isn’t that always how it goes?). So, in the interests of time and getting other people besides myself involved, I’d like to invite some of you to help. I’ve done the first experiment, and it’s turned out pretty good so far. In return for reading through a technical book (such as a PHP, Javascript, Ruby, .NET or other book) and providing a review of anywhere from 500-1000 words, you get a free book, your review posted at techbookreviews.com, and some pay. I’ve not firmed this up yet - it’ll probably decide on the size of the book to some extent, but either a paypal xfer or amazon certificate for $5 or $10.
If you’re interested in participating, send me an email to mgkimsal@gmail.com with your name, mailing address, a list of technologies you’re interested in reviewing, and ideally links to some writing samples. I currently have books on C# and Javascript and DotNetNuke and possibly Ruby in my backlog, and more are in the pipeline.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Wow - I have 4 people signed up already. I’m going to have to close this offer for now. If you’re interested, please feel free to email me (mgkimsal@gmail.com) but I can not promise anything at the moment. If I can manage a system going, and this looks like it’ll turn out to be a good thing for everyone involved, I’ll expand it some more.
Thanks for all your feedback and interest!
