Publishers Weekly accepts reviewer applications occasionally. All you have to do is send a CV and a sample review à la PW. They don't assign a byline, however.
To be considered, submit a sample review in the style of Kirkus.
Here's how to apply as a Booklist reviewer. Once accepted, you'd become an apprentice reviewer.
AudioFile assigns a couple audiobooks in a month, and you have to write a review of about a hundred words. They pay $10 apiece, which is disbursed twice a year. Because of this payment scheme, it would take a long while to receive the payment. Still, you have the freedom to choose the genre of audiobook you want to review, such as young adult, fantasy, classics, literary fiction, etc. In the review that appears in print and online versions, you get to have initials as your byline, but you don't get to have your name printed in full.

Pitching Directly to Magazines and Publications
The rate is significantly higher, reaching as high as $800 for a 1,000-word review. However, since this is the high-paying path, it's also the most difficult one. It takes a lot of effort to craft the perfect pitch to an editor, and sending the pitch doesn't even guarantee an assignment. It might depend on the quality of the pitch, the publication's editorial calendar, the strength of the writing portfolio, relevance of the book, etc. To get paid to read books in this manner, one must already be an established literary critic. Think of it as the be-all and end-all of reviewing.
