Online Book Club is amazing

Online Book Club is an amazing organization providing reviews for your books. I have had many 5-star reviews for my picture books. OBC are great to deal with - their staff are all very prompt, efficient and courteous.

I was disqualified from continuing to…

I was disqualified from continuing to review books all because I had read 3 books within one month — I suppose this is considered “reading too fast”, leading them to believe I wasn’t being truthful, even though I was. Not the best experience. Disappointing.

Helpful platform for readers and writers

I have a good experience with the OnlineBookClub.org. There, one can find new books and read candid reviews left by other readers. I am glad that it provides a platform to emerging writers and makes people express their views. The evaluation procedure is transparent, and the society is supportive. The guidelines are sometimes very rigid, but they assist in keeping up the quality. Comprehensively, it is a handy site for individuals who love reading and book reviews.

Online Book Club is a fascinating site

Online Book Club is a fascinating site. It is hyperstrict on the book reviews that are submitted to them, but we do get paid for it. I have grown favorably in using grammar, punctuation, and overall understanding of the system they promote. I am glad I'm a member of OBC.

What to Expect as a Beginner Reviewer

I was paid to write a review for a particular book. After finishing the book, I wrote and submitted my review, which was then evaluated by two editors. It passed, so if your first score isn’t the best, don’t stress it can be improved. I didn’t receive my payment yet but they said it can take up to 3 weeks. If you’re new to this kind of work, like I am, it’s a good idea to revise your review several times before submitting it. The editors are quite strict and expect strong grammar and well polished writing. Also, the support team is excellent .overall i like my small experience
