INITIAL EXPECTATIONS & INTAKE TASKS TO JOIN THE TEAM
- Maintain a professional and active social media account that has a strong military following with a minimum of 500 followers (this can be modified depending on the quality of the reviewer and if the account is growing).
- Optional: Add DODReads Reviewer in your experience section on LinkedIn/Twitter/Facebook. This allows us to notify you for company-wide updates and enables authors to reach you directly. Interact as it feels natural.
ONGOING RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PROFESSIONAL BOOK REVIEWERS
- Pick the book you want to review and click the ‘Request this book’ and fill out the form
- Within a day or two of receiving the book, take a picture of the book and thank the author / publisher / company on your social feed/s for the free book. Use the tags in the table below. See some good examples here, here, and here.
- Within 6 weeks, write your honest book review and, if warranted, an endorsement. Be sure to follow our submission guidelines. Email your review to submissions@dodreads.com with the subject line Review Complete – Name of Book .
- Once the review is posted on DODReads.com, share the review via your social feed/s using the tags in the table below. More views = more opportunity for you and DODReads.
- If you decide to take a break from reviewing for a while, let us know via email at reviews@dodreads.com, including when you plan on being back. Membership on the professional book review team will be evaluated annually; we will usually remove reviewers from the team after a year of inactivity.
- Once you build up some reviews, you will probably have authors / publishers reach out directly and ask you to review their book. This is great! Feel free to take the book, or you can refer them to reviews@dodreads.com.
