Are you a Texas book reviewer? Are you interested in supporting Texas authors and Texas books? 

Then you've come to the right place; consider joining the 

Lone Star  Team!

What does the Lone Star Lit Review Team do? We support Lone Star Literary Life and promote: 

       - Books written by Texas Authors

       - Books about Texas

       - Books with Texas settings and/or with Texan characters

The LSLL Review Team shares social media content, blog posts, and/or book reviews to promote the books on campaign. 

How is it done? For each tour, a sign-up sheet is provided and select the date and book they'd like to promote. Team members must be willing to post both reviews and social media content, which is provided to the reviewer by LSLL, with the exception of book reviews. Books are provided to the reviewers, but they must write their own review content and give their honest opinions. (Note: a reviewer guideline document will be provided.)

What are the incentives for reviewers? 

       - early peeks and copies of some of the latest Tex-centric books;

       - increased traffic and exposure for your website and social media;

       - Reviewer Bucks* (via PayPal or Gift Cards) for each post; and

       - finders' incentives for bringing in new, qualified bloggers to the group.

*The Reviewer Bucks amounts are too small to be considered payment for your services and are more a thank you gift for your help.  However, they can add up to a tidy sum by the end of the year, and 1099s will be distributed, as appropriate.

 

Should I be concerned about receiving incentives?   Not at all! Just like professional reviewers who write for major publications, reviewers' incentives -- whether received via PayPal or Gift Cards -- NEVER come directly from the author or publisher.  LSLL Reviewers are supporting the online media site Lone Star Literary Life.
 

Anything else? You must be a Texas-based or Texan book reviewer, have an established social media following, and preferably, have a business website where you post your reviews. There is an application process that includes a questionnaire, and if you are invited to join the team, there is also an agreement to sign.
