Turning Pages: Finding Critics to Review Your Work

No one evaluates and reviews a book better than critics. You need them to analyze various aspects of your book, including your target audience, plot, themes, writing style, and the impression your work will leave on readers. However, finding critics, especially for starters, may quite be a task.  We, therefore, explore how you can easily find critics for your content, be it a book, poem, video, or any other work for that matter.

Social Media Platforms

We’re in the age of the Third Industrial Revolution, where the Internet and digital media rule the world. As such, you want to take advantage of this by searching and befriending critics on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 

LinkedIn is even better because it presents an opportunity to meet professional critics. However, some may want to review your work for a fee. Just be sure to ask the critics about their experience when you look at their past works. Additionally, ask them about the factors they consider when critiquing a book.

If you can’t find reviewers, simply create an ad stating that you’ve written a book and would welcome anyone wanting to review your work. Post the ad on all your social platforms to ensure it reaches all your friends and followers. The catch in this scenario is to give a synopsis of your work. Include the genre or category of your book.

Book Clubs

Book club members discuss and critique books during their regular meetings. The only shortcoming in getting critics in book clubs and other reading groups is that not all members are professional critics. But still, their insights can go a long way in offering valuable insights and perspectives about your book.

Some popular book clubs you should consider joining include: 

  1. Reese Book Club
  2. Inspire Book Club
  3. Ladies Lit Squad 
  4. Oprah’s Book Club
  5. Read With Jenna 
  6. Rebel Book Club 
  7. Between Two Books 
  8. Okha Book Club
  9. Silent Book Club

Authors and Peers

Reviews from authors and other industry professionals carry a significant weight. Look for authors in your category and ask them if they can review your work. If lucky, fellow authors or writers will endorse your work or blurbs, which significantly boosts getting your work out there.

When connecting with authors in your book category, ensure they know when you need the reviews. You don’t want anything to interfere with your book release or writing new editions. However, you must be very polite in your requests.
