The focus of WordsRated, a “non-commercial research organization”, is on books, literature, and publishing data.

As “Bibliofile-at-large” (a Get Paid to Read Books Contractor), you’ll be given books to read, and asked to give specific details about each book. E.g. how many sentences were given to male in contrast to female characters, or other specifics that appear in the book.

3. BOOKLIST
Pay: $15 for each review
School and public library workers are guided by Booklist reviews, in purchasing, and suggesting, books.
Booklist reviews are on average 150-175 words long, and exist to help a librarian put that book in the hands of its ideal reader.
The reviews are recommendation-only, for libraries to purchase, based on the content, possible popularity, or other convincing data.
Thus, the reviewer must look beyond their own reading taste and find the reasons for different readers to enjoy the book. These reasons will guide librarians in their suggestions and service.
While a library degree is not required, Booklist wants reviewers who are familiar with libraries and books.
Becoming a Booklist reviewer starts with filling out a reviewer application.
Be clear about your experience and interests so that you can be paired with the right books.
To get started, fill out a new reviewer application
