Women’s Review of Books does not accept unsolicited articles.

A few things to note:

  • Most Women’s Review of Books writers are experienced reviewers with expertise in their fields who can write review-essays that are lively, thought-provoking, and accessible to a broad audience of interested readers—and who can do it on a deadline. We welcome new ideas, expertise, and creativity; we discourage jargon. Readers may have to struggle with your ideas—but not with your sentences.
  • Women’s Review of Books welcomes suggestions of books to review (and feedback of all kinds, actually).
  • Women’s Review of Books does not assign book reviews to friends, relatives, enemies, colleagues, or blurbers of the book author.
Submitting your Book for Review

Submitting your Book for Review
Women’s Review of Books reviews women’s studies scholarship and fiction, poetry, and memoir by women. We welcome review copies and consider all the books submitted to us carefully. We review more nonfiction than anything else. There are far more wonderful books out there than we can hope to cover; our reviewing decisions are based on a combination of factors including the quality of the books; the balance of articles in each issue (we strive to review a diverse array of books in many fields, genres, and styles); and the interests of our readers and reviewers.

Please note that we generally do not review the following: genre fiction; self-help books; inspirational autobiographies; self-published fiction, poetry or memoir; poetry chapbooks; scholarly or literary magazines; reference books; textbooks; children’s or young adult books; fiction or poetry by men. Save your review copies of these kinds of books for more appropriate publications.
