Dear Friends,
I am acutely aware that we are now at the halfway point in the month, but I did have one last question regarding reviewing. I would love for folks to share their thoughts on anonymous v. signed reviews. What are the differenc es, if any? Are there advantages for both reviewer and reader in anonymous reviews? Disadvantages? There are times when I find anonymous reviews to be different in tone, and on occasion, not written with the kind of professio nal courtesy I would expect from a reviewer. I suppose I’m asking, why an onymity at all? I know there are certain names I look for, and when I find reviews written by those folks, I feel I can trust them. So, why not put ou r names to reviews we write?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Best, Tricia
