Patricia Vaccarino writes book reviews for love or money

 

I review many types of books: old, new, classic, genre fiction as well as literary fiction, and nonfiction. My fees are based on scale relative to word count and the complexity of the book. I write three types of reviews: Snapshot ($250), Standard ($350) or Scholarly ($550). My book reviews are balanced and fair. I post my reviews on multiple platforms.  It is important to note that my reviews are distributed to a proprietary list of book lovers, bookstores and the media.  Interested? email me patricia@prforpeople.com

Here are examples:
