FAQ for Schools

Why should I subscribe to a School Membership? We will offer you immediate access to our online review database with over 6000 reviews and 700+ more reviews added per year. Our reviews are different as we will include content information that helps schools decide what books are the ones you want or need in your library. Read more about our review philosophy here.

How do I sign up for a School Membership? Simply add a School Membership to your cart and pay through the checkout. You can do this here. We will then set you up and email you with your access information. 

When will my membership renew? As our individual and school memberships are a yearly subscription, they will renew 12 months after your initial payment. We will manually activate this payment for you. If you wish to cancel, we require 10 business days notice before your renewal.

I am from an international school. How does this work? In Australia, our School Memberships are available for $149 (AUD). For international schools, the price is $135 (AUD) as you do not have to pay Australian taxes (GST). When you purchase products through our website, the tax will not apply in the checkout. While a lot of our books that we review are Australian and New Zealand books, we also review the popular content from around the world. We would love to provide you with our helpful review service.

Do you offer Standing Orders? Our school members can subscribe to our extra Flexible Prepaid Ordering service, similar to the Agile Membership provided by The Book Curator. However, there will be no order cut-off dates—you can order reviewed titles at any time. Read more about this service  here. If you are interested in signing up to this ordering system, please email admin@novelinsight.com.au and we can call you to discuss the best options for your school.

I want to email someone for a question not yet answered. Can I do that? Sure please email admin@novelinsight.com.au and we will aim to respond quickly for you! If you would prefer a phone call, simply let us know or book in here.

How do you get your reviewers? Authors, editors, librarians, dedicated book reviewers, and bookstore workers are part of our review team. Reviewers get complimentary books and credit for purchasing books. As we expand, we would love to have more reviewers. If you are interested in participating, you can learn more here.
