Wanted: SFF Reviewers

We have been getting so many great submissions at Sift and - even with eight fantastic reviewers already on staff - we're having trouble keeping up with them. So we're looking for more reviewers! We don't know how many new reviewers we're going to take on - it depends solely on the quality of applicants; we could take as few as zero or as many as seven!

What are the expectations of a Sift reviewer?

• Read and review two books per month (on a schedule). The books are submitted to us for review by the authors. Sarah, our editor, takes care of most administrative duties.
• Keep your Goodreads shelf on our Goodreads account updated with your reviews and TBR list.
• Promote Sift to your followers/tweeps/friends across Social Media.
• Reviewers retain ownership of their reviews while granting non-exclusive publication rights to Sift.
• Do not accept compensation in exchange for a review.
• There are occasional optional opportunities like reviews, blog events, giveaways etc.
• You must be 18 years old or older.
• You can live anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access.
• Reviewers are uncompensated. Currently, revenue from ads is used to paid for administrative costs like hosting, domain registration, etc.

That's it! It's pretty easy and you get to read a lot of great indie books in the process, so please email us (info below) if you're interested in becoming a reviewer (or forward this post to anyone you know who might be interested). Before applying, please make sure to read our About Us & Terms as well as our Submission Guidelines.

If you want to apply to be a reviewer at Sift please email the following: 

• a short paragraph of description about yourself (check out our Reviewers page for examples)
• a list of SFF genres you like to read
• links to online reviews you've done. (Goodreads, Amazon, Blog, etc) If there are no reviews available online, please send a sample review in your email.
• links to any of your blogs or social media accounts.
• If you have a working knowledge Blogger, Goodreads, or Smashwords, please mention this.
• We are NOT interested in a reviewer who will only read YA. We especially need reviewers who will read high fantasy, hard sci-fi and erotica.

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments! And we'd appreciate if you would help spread the world. We hope to hear from you soon!
