I’m putting together the next issue of my magazine and need sharp, engaging science-fiction book reviews to anchor the review section. Each piece should capture the essence of the novel, evaluate its themes, pacing, and world-building, and give readers a clear sense of whether the title deserves a spot on their shelf—all without spoiling key plot points. What I provide: • Title, author, publisher details, and any advance material or press kit available. What I need back: • One polished review per assignment (800–1,000 words, Google Docs or Word). • A short pull-quote (20–25 words) that can double as a sidebar teaser. • Suggested star rating out of five with a one-sentence rationale. Tone & style: Write conversationally but with authority—think thoughtful critique rather than academic analysis. Assume the reader already loves the genre but still wants an honest verdict. Turnaround: First draft within a week of receiving the book info, final edit 48 hours after notes. If you’re passionate about sci-fi and have clips that show you can balance insight with readability, I’d love to see your work and get started on the next title.
