Reading for Pleasure? Or Profit? Why not Both?

Like an artist who is able to sell their work, profiting from books
that you would have read anyway is like icing on the cake. Now,
profiting can mean many things, but for the purpose of this blog, when

reading a book (other than the pleasure), whether it’s a paycheck, a
byline or a global audience.

Have you figured it out yet?

I’m talking about writing book reviews.

If you have dreams of a career in writing, becoming a book reviewer
can allow you to sharpen your skills with the printed word, give you a
collection of “clips” that can later help you snag more writing or
reviewing gigs. Plus, even if the book review site pays little or
nothing for your review, they almost always supply you with the free
books!
