This year I have had the privilege of being a member of the Homeschool Review Crew. It felt very scary to even apply, I mean, I had never written a review before and wasn’t sure I would be very good at it to be honest. I’m so pleased I did though! I have found, to my surprise, that I really like writing reviews. It has been wonderful to be the recipient of so many incredible home school products and my family have completely benefited from having access to products they wouldn’t otherwise even known about.
But being a member of the Homeschool Review Crew is so much more than reviewing products! We have our very own and very active forum, which is there to support not just the writing of the reviews (for which there is an enormous amount of support), but also to support blogging endevours, social media support, and a wonderful praise and pray board. I am a lurker rather than participator and yet I still feel part of a big family. The leadership team is incredibly friendly, not to mention supportive, gracious and very appreciative.
I have never felt like I am on my own; the expectations for each review are made very clear which makes writing the reviews that much easier, and best of all you are encouraged to be yourself and write with your own individual style. You are free to give your honest opinion of each product you review and you even have a great deal of say in which products you review.
All this to say that they are looking for new members to join their team. If you are a blogger who homeschools one or more of your children, writes fairly regularly (at least one non-sponsored post a week) and would be interested in reviewing home school products click over to the Schoolhouse Review Crew Blog and fill in the application form. You won’t regret it!
We tried signing up for this, but no one has gotten back to us. I wonder how long the review process takes?
I’ve asked the leaders so hopefully I will have an answer for you soon 🙂
Thank you.
I asked and as the applications are still being accepted into this week and next, the leadership won’t be replying until sometime then. Hope this helps! You are not being ignored! 🙂
Thanks for getting back to me. I think I misunderstood, as another writer mentioned someone got back to her right away. I was afraid somehow my application might have gotten lost or was in error.
Either way, I pray they find enough writers. If the Lord blesses, it would be fun to join the team. If no, I remain interested in hearing about your selections.
Thank you again for checking up on this. Someone from leadership contacted me today to let me know we’ve been accepted!
Whew! I was worried I had not filled something out correctly, or that my request had not gone through as expected. I’m pleased to know there was no error on my part, and look forward to where the Lord leads in this exciting new adventure.
Thank you!
Yay!! I’m so pleased you got in! You’ll love it! Well done 🙂
