- Email subject line: "Book Review Submission [Your Name]".

- Please refrain from giving a book a score. Just tell us if it's worth the read, not worth it, or if you're on the fence.
- Please send your contact information and a third-person biography in the email. You don't need to include the author's biography.
- It would be helpful (but isn't required) if you would send the book's cover image with a description of it.
- Anthologies as well as issues of literary magazines focusing on disability, neurodivergence, illness, etc. can be reviewed.
Notes on ethics:
- Please do not review books by family or close friends.
- Reviewers are allowed to ask authors for review copies if the only way to find a copy is to purchase one (and the cost is prohibitive).
- Reviewers will never accept payment from authors.
- No review-for-review agreements between authors.

We pay $3 via Paypal only. We won't send paper checks, sorry.
Rights:
We take one-time rights and request archival rights since posts stay on the blog.
