What Is a Book Critic?
A book critic, also referred to as a literary critic, is a writer who is paid to analyze and critique books. Book critics frequently work for newspapers and magazines, and are similar to book reviewers; however, book critics tend to provide more in-depth analysis than book reviewers. An established book critic will receive a new book to critique, often for free, and will analyze the book and write an article regarding his or her thoughts about the achievements and failings of the book. Book critics are commonly avid readers who want to turn their love of a craft into a career.
