I am curious. What worth would the review be if it came/was written by the author? Don't all authors love their work and toot their horn that it is all that? I, myself see no problem with paying for a review if the reviewer is being objective about the work in question. It takes a lot of time to read and the books are not always good. So should it continue to be free? The question should be who is an honest reviewer and who is not? There are many who claim to be a reviewer and when I read the review it is nothing more than a synopsis of the book. That in my opinion is not a review. That is what I would ask before submitting anything to anybody for review. Reputation of the reviewer and publication should both be questioned. I think reviewers should be paid and that it is long over due. |
