Book Drum – a new website from author Hector Macdonald – has pioneered an exciting new approach to reading. They’re bringing the books we love to life with images, music, maps, video, and all the other riches of the Internet.
To launch Book Drum, they’re holding a Tournament.
They’re looking for writers and editors all over the English-speaking world to help them assemble a collection of Profiles that illustrate and illuminate great books. They’ll be hiring a few full-time, and commissioning others on a job-by-job basis, recruiting from amongst the best entries to the Book Drum Tournament.

This would involve writing a brief review of a new book (initially one you have read recently followed by review copies of new releases that we will send out to you).
The reviews will appear in a new section on this website and also in the Children’s Book Room within the shop.
We are looking for people in the following age categories:
1-6 years | 7-10 years | 10-14 years | Young Adult
If you’re interested, please email a review (marked for the attention of David Booker), including your name, age, address and telephone number, to clare@scarthinbooks.com (please note, only your name and age will be displayed and we will not pass on details to third parties).
