Get paid $50 to review a book for Kirkus Indie- Remote Side Hustle

Spread the love

Are you based in South Africa and looking for paid work as a novel reviewer? Kirkus Media is looking for a book reviewer for their English Indie books.

How to get your book reviewed

Kirkus magazine has a section that focuses on reviewing books for self-published authors. From my research, these self-published authors pay $400 to get their novels checked. In today’s age, many consumers will not purchase anything without first reading the reviews. The smart way will be to find platforms such as Kirkus that pay for authentic reviews.

How to review books on Kirkus

If you are selected to get paid work to review books on Kirkus, you will get instructions and guidelines on how to write the reviews. You have to be honest, as these are authentic reviews. However, on an online forum, some people stated that if you gave harsh reviews or critics, they would stop sending you books to review. So please keep that in mind.

When you hand in the reviews, they have to be in the same format and maintain the same high standards as the rest of the content produced on Kirkus.

Please note that reviews are expected to be approximately 350 words, and the work is due in two weeks.

How much they pay

Kirkus is a great side hustle, especially for avid fiction readers. At present, they are paying $50 per book review! If you are in South Africa, that is R800!

How to apply to be a paid book reviewer

To submit your CV and writing samples to review for Kirkus, you can email Kirkus Indie Editor David Rapp at Drapp@kirkus.com.
