2025-2026 Book Review Submissions
Ends on
We welcome unsolicited submissions for reviews of books, visual media, and artistic events or exhibits. We publish both standard reviews, focused on illuminating a single piece’s craft, and essay reviews, which engage one or more pieces through a developed thesis to contextualize and comment on their literary, artistic, or cultural stakes. We do not currently accept micro reviews.
Pay rates are currently $50 per printed page of prose, up to $800. In addition, contributors receive two copies of the issue their work appears in and a 50% discount on additional copies of that issue.
Book reviewers should cite the title, author, place of publication and publisher, year, number of pages, and price of the book or books in the review. For example: Posthumous Keats: A Personal Biography. By Stanley Plumly. New York: W.W. Norton and Company, 2008. 370 pp. $27.95. Those reviewing visual media or artistic events should cite in accordance with Chicago style guidelines.
