Skloot’s Tips for Successful Book Reviewing

After seven years serving as a vice president on the National Book Critics Circle board of directors, Skloot has just finished her second term.  While on the board, she put together a document  of tips for breaking into book reviewing called, Strategies for Breaking in and Staying in:  Getting started as a critic, building your reviewing portfolio, going national, and keeping editors happy.  It’s no longer available on the NBCC’s website, so we’ve posted it here for those interested.
