We are currently closed for book & chapbook reviews. Please check back in January 2026.

Receive a guaranteed 50-200 word professional editorial review of your poetry chapbook, poetry or short story collection, or novel (up to 85,000 words). This review can be used for any author or publisher promotional purposes, including but not limited to: author websites, newsletters, advance reader copies, book covers, Amazon Editorial Reviews, etc.

Reviews are delivered via Submittable within 3 to 6 months and are written to highlight the core strengths, themes, and standout elements of the manuscript.

We accept manuscripts that will be published by both traditional publishers and self-publishing authors. Most books and genres are accepted for review. Examples include: general fiction, mystery, science-fiction, romance, children's books, picture books, novellas, full length novels, poetry and short story collections. The following are not accepted for review: horror, religious, spiritual, scientific or opinion-based non-fiction books (such as books on psychology or parenting), books including excessive gore, books with abusive or hateful themes and/or content, political texts, and pornographic materials.

When we are open again for reviews, manuscripts are accepted for review Saturday - Thursday. We are closed for reviews on Fridays. We may occasionally close during regular weekly operations or major U.S. holidays as needed.
