We aren&#8217;t a large review site, but we do need people willing to work as volunteer reviewers. We would especially like people willing to cover poetry, extreme horror, bizarro, literary horror, children&#8217;s, and YA (it&#8217;s not that we get huge numbers of titles in all of these areas, but they can be niche). Much of what we&#8217;ve been requested to review recently are titles from independent authors. I&#8217;d like to see us stretch to be more inclusive. As a Gen Xer, I&#8217;d also love to see some younger people participate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are a librarian, educator, student, reader, or writer with knowledge of the horror genre, especially horror fiction, who would like to try reviewing for Monster Librarian, I would love to hear from you. My reviewers&#8217; list in the past has included high school teachers, college students, social workers, a veterinary assistant, librarians, researchers, and even doctors. If you know and love horror, and are willing to write reviews, that&#8217;s what we are looking for. Please email me at:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:monsterlibrarian@monsterlibrarian.com\">MonsterLibrarian@MonsterLibrarian.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not interested but think you know someone who would be please encourage them to email me as well.
