Description
What does it take to write a book review that will get published? Former SF Chronicle Book Editor Oscar Villalon shows how to write a smart, entertaining book review. He explains what techniques work best in long and in brief reviews, what to keep in mind when assessing a book, and how to shape the tone of your review. He explains the standards of professionalism a reviewer needs to keep getting work from editors. Villalon’s reviews have appeared online at NPR.org and on radio for KQED’s The California Report. He’s served on the board of directors of the National Book Critics Circle and on the nominating jury for the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
