What Are You Reading?
What are you reading?
We’d love to hear about what you’ve been reading. Whether it’s a new issue of your favorite literary magazine, the book you’ve just added to your shelf, or one piece of poetry or prose that really spoke to you, we’re looking forward to your recommendations.
Share the love
What have you connected with recently? Who said those words that kept you going through another day? How have you re-read a favorite?
Send us an email with a brief, previously unpublished review (200 words maximum) and we’ll share it with our users on our blog and across our social media accounts.
NewPages seeks reviews of contemporary literary books from small presses and new magazine issues or work. Contemporary = within the past year. Literary = no ‘popular genre’ works (fantasy, thriller, sci fi, murder mystery, etc., unless it is from a publisher we list on our site).
Click here to find example posts.
NewPages practices these ethical boundaries:
- No reviews from publishers promoting their own titles.
- No gratuitous promotion of friends, family, current/past teachers, publishers you are waiting to hear back from, etc.
- If you know the author, editor, and/or publisher but believe your review is a fair critique, please disclose that relationship.
- We will Google names, and if they show up together, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do.
- We do not support publishers requiring authors to provide “cross promotion” of other’s works published with them.
If your submission is accepted, we will clean up minor errors, and it will appear on the NewPages blog within the next two weeks and shared via our social media.
There is no payment at this time, just the standard fame and glory.
