Insight into the Craft of Book Reviewing
Thanks to the blog Open Culture, I’ve just learned about the National Book Critics Circle, its website and its blog.
The NBCC has been around since 1974 and has 700 active members from around the US. Its website offers an incredibly useful and quite extensive page of links, pointing one toward book-oriented blogs, various review sections, book-related magazines and online publications, and other book-related sites. Its blog Critical Mass is quite active, with postings from many sources. Recently, it invited authors to write about the five most important resources for book reviewers, leading to an informative, ongoing series.
The site also offers an article offering tips on writing good reviews, which is actually quite informative for us authors-in-waiting.
Writers who wish to be part of the book world will find NBCC an organization worth following closely.
