Welcome to It's our Job To Shine Bright, Rising Stars' Member-to-Member reviewing program set up to provide a common area for each of our Rising Stars and Sponsors to show off thoughtful, well written reviews of the works created by fellow Rising Stars each month.

If you're interested in becoming recognized as one of Rising Star's Top Reviewers:

One of Rising Stars long-term goals is to open up a variety of opportunities for Rising Stars to develop first-rate reviewing skills. Last summer, we held our first high quality reviewing workshop. This spring and summer, we will place a heavy emphasis on limiting your reviews to just 3 per month to begin shifting your focus to the development of more thoughtful, beautifully crafted, informative reviews.

*Star*~We are a group of 200 active members and growing! *Cool*
*Heart*~Our goal is to cast our net widely to cover all of our Rising Stars~*Heart*
