Amazon Reviewers Get Paid to Review
By Jane • Dec 1st, 2006 • Category: Publishing News • •According to the Forbes article,Donald Mitchell, a top Amazon reviewer, has made $20,000.00 reviewing books at Amazon over the past seven years. Who know?
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

Unfortunately, this doesn’t surprise me. There are some reviewers I won’t even read. I also think Romantic Times reviewers get kickbacks. I have read many of their books Top Picks and they turn out to be my DNF’s. Too bad it has taken me years to figure this out.
