Everybody's Reviewing passes 150,000 views!

 

Our sister website, Everybody's Reviewing, has now passed 150,000 readers!

Everybody's Reviewing promotes books and reading through book reviews, event reviews and author interviews. It has published 100s of reviews and dozens of author interviews over the last few years. As the name suggests, anybody and everybody can contribute reviews to the site, and the reviews can be of any book, new or old. 

To mark the milestone the site has just passed, Everybody's Reviewing is now inviting submissions for a new strand on the blog: that is, articles about "A Book That Changed Me."

For this new strand, Everybody's Reviewing is asking for short articles about any book that has had a deep impact on your life, your way of thinking, your way of seeing the world. Articles should talk about the book and the impact it had on you. As Oscar Wilde may or may not have said, "All criticism is autobiography."

Your article should be between 50-400 words in length, generally positive and sent to everybodysreviewing[at]gmail[dot]com. See also About & Submit for further information.

Finally, many thanks to everyone in our wonderful community - readers, reviewers, authors, editors - who have helped Everybody's Reviewing reach this amazing milestone.

Everybody's Reviewing Passes 100,000 views

Everybody's Reviewing, the review blog run by the Centre for New Writing at the University of Leicester, has just passed 100,000 views! Its huge readership includes people from the East Midlands region, the UK and internationally. 

The site was set up in 2014, in conjunction with Everybody's Reading Festival in Leicester, aiming to provide a space for readers to share their enthusiasms. It's a democratic review website, where readers of all ages and experience can share positive reviews of books or events they have enjoyed. 

Since 2014, it has gone from strength to strength. It has published 100s of reviews.  It has provided a forum for 100s of new and experienced reviewers to publish their reviews. It has helped showcase commercially-published, independently-published and self-published books, as well as exhibitions and performances, by new, up-and-coming and established writers. There have been numerous guest editors, gaining work experience in editing and website curation.  

If you'd like to get involved with Everybody's Reviewing, you can read more about it, and find contact details here. 

Congratulations to all - readers, reviewers, authors, editors alike - on reaching this major landmark!
