American Book Review’s editorial policies do not allow us to consider unsolicited reviews for publication.
ABR specializes in reviews of frequently neglected works of fiction, poetry, and literary and cultural criticism from small, regional, university, ethnic, avant-garde, and women’s presses. In nonfiction, we review important books of criticism, biographies, and cultural studies, but we do not review “how-to” or “self-help” books. We would consider a review of innovative children’s literature, but that is not usually part of our preferred content. We prefer books that have been published in the past six months, but will review books that have been published in the past year.
If you have been assigned a review by American Book Review, but have not received the guidelines, please email us and we will send an electronic copy of our guidelines.
