You're
planning to write us a review? That's great, here we can tell you
what's expected.
Choosing
a book
The
first step is to choose a book - because this is a website for North
Yorkshire, that book must have a local connection.
Perhaps
the author is local, or maybe the book is set in the county? We
cannot publish reviews of books which do not have a strong local
connection.
How
many words?
The
good news, is that it doesn't have to be very long, About 250 -
400 words would be perfect. However, it must be at least 250 words,
otherwise it won't fill a page!
Your
views
We
really want your own words, expressed as calmly or vehemently as
you feel about the book you're reviewing. Take a look at some of
the reviews we've already received
for an idea.
Remember
though, this is a family web site, so we won't publish profane or
libelous reviews.
In
brief, we'd like the review to be in four parts:
- an
introductory paragraph, including the name of both book and author.
- a
short synopsis, (not the whole story).
- your
opinion on how well it's written.
-
a few words on whether you'd recommend it, (even though it might
be obvious by this point)..
Fill
in the form to send in your review
If
the book is an audio edition: Mention the reader's name, your
opinion about the way the book was read and do comment on how it
felt to listen, rather than read by sight.
A good
review will give your reader a sense of what the book's about as
well as your opinion of it. Ideally it should persuade others to
read the
book, or conversely to avoid it!
Sending
in your review
Once
you've written your review, just copy it into the form below.
That's
it! So get writing, - we want to hear from you soon!
