Before You Write

Review Guidelines

A few simple requests keep reviews useful for readers, authors, and other reviewers.

Be honest and specific. Tell readers what worked and what did not. Reviewers are not expected to be flattering, only engaged with the book.

  • Please read the full book before publishing a review, including any appended notes or excerpts sent with the copy.
  • Include the title, the author name, and a cover image if your outlet allows it.
  • Note the format you reviewed, such as print or digital, when it is useful context for readers.
  • Send a copy of your finished review so it can be added to the list of reviews on this page.
  • Send corrections if a published review contains an error, so the site can be updated.

Comments left on the site are moderated. Review copies are sent at the author's discretion, so it helps to include a brief link to your published work with your request.

See the full book catalogue or write to the authors to start a request.
