We accept submissions of individual reviews from book bloggers, but you can also apply to join our review team if you would like to contribute on a regular basis.
Review Submission Requirements
Every quarter, we accept up to three reviews from book bloggers. Please read the requirements below carefully before submitting.

​
​We accept reviews of books by self-published and hybrid (part self-published, part traditionally-published) authors. Please note that authors whose books are published by indie publishers are not generally considered to be indie authors by this publication (unless the author is not independent from the publisher, e.g. Josie Jaffrey controls Silver Sun Books).
All reviews must be of books that fit within one of the themes of the relevant issue (for example, the themes for Issue 1 are Vampires and Voyages).
