How do I break into book reviewing?

Joining the National Book Critics Circle provides members with access to several hundred professional reviewers and review editors through our yearly meeting in NYC, and through panels and conferences involving NBCC members around the country throughout the year. Members also receive our freelancing guidelines for pitching publications around the country via pdf or our online Wiki. We are compiling an online membership directory, which will be available to members soon. Also available to members is former Board Member Rebecca Skloot’s helpful beginner tutorial, “Tips for Successful Reviewing.”
