Hello everybody!

Yes-WeRecommend.org  is an independent reviewers organisation specialising in thought-provoking books. The organization was founded in 2006 as an educational programme for last year university students worldwide..

The programme, that later became an organisation itself, proposed students and recent graduates to read and evaluate books and other publications pertaining to the field of their specialization, from fictional writing to specialized non fictional publications. This allows the reviewers to expand their knowledge and also allows to have independent reviews of publications that expose new ideas or perspectives. The programme was joined later by interested professors and associated professionals, becoming a reviewers network of unique value.

A fresh "green" approach!

There are many book sites, book shops online, author sites and all kind of marketing tools trying to sell you books and other publications. They often offer reviews trying to lead you to buy those publications. At Yes-WeRecommend.org, we don't sell a thing, we don't even ask for contributions or any compensation, we simply provide a brief and concise review about publications we consider worth to read and we tell you why. No links to shopping online, nothing more than the reviews.

When we receive a publication to review, after a first reading we may decline it, or forward it to the registered reviewers specialized in the publication's subject. Normally, one publication out of 10 makes it through this first evaluation. The publication must be thought provoking, stimulate valuable ideas, be well written and clear and serve a positive purpose. Once the publication is reviewed by a large number of our reviewers, a second evaluation is done based on the reviews. At this point, the publication may be just commented to the author or we may recommend it. If only commented, the author will receive a formal set of comments. If recommended, the author will be offered a page at our site for having our review published. We don't deal with publishers or agents, only with authors directly and we don't request or receive any kind of remuneration or accept gifts from authors. When authors include a purchase button to their reviews, that can only be to a personal account or to a non profit organization, purchase buttons to profitable enterprises, online shops or similar are not allowed.eye

The "green" approach means that we look at the publications without any interest of gain, Yes-WeRecommend.org reviews are not only independent and truly objective but also a combination of the views from experienced professionals in the subject area and fresh graduates with new approaches. The experience and the fertile minds combined will decide if we say YES! We Recommend!
