Patricia Vaccarino writes book reviews for love or money

^{Old, new, classic, popular culture, I read everything, and I have reviewed genre fiction, literary fiction, non-fiction, and even a coloring book! My fees are based on a scale relative to word count and the complexity of the book. I write three types of reviews: Snapshot ($250), Standard($350) or Scholarly($550).}

My book reviews are authentic, balanced and fair. I offer an advantage over other book reviewers because I own a media outlet and I am able to post my reviews on multiple platforms.  It is important to note that my reviews are distributed to a proprietary list of book lovers, bookstores and the media.
