Twitter has become a new home for book reviewers, as they share recommendations, spread links, and review books in 140-character bursts. To celebrate this new kind of criticism, GalleyCat Reviews is building a directory of the best book review content on Twitter.
We’ve collected these writers in a handy Twitter list, but after the jump, you can explore our growing collection of reviewers–they are listed alphabetically with links to each feed.
This is not a comprehensive list, yet. Add your favorite Twitter reviewers in the comments section. We will constantly update the directory, just like our Best Editors Twitter list and our Best Book Publicity and Marketing Twitter Feeds directory.
If you are looking for more people to follow, check out our Best Literary Agents on Twitter directory, our Best Book Reviewers on Twitter list, our Best Book Publicity and Marketing Twitter Feeds directory, our Best eBook News on Twitter list, our Best Library People on Twitter directory, and our Women in Publishing Twitter List.
