A Call for Book Reviews
Have you read a book recently that fired you up? Maybe it made you laugh or made you cry, or made you want to hurl it against your bedroom wall. Well then, sound off!
175,000 new books are published in the United States every year. Combine that with international publications, and the number of books for us readers to choose from becomes downright overwhelming. Help others choose cool books for summeris hot days by writing a review and submitting it for possible publication in our June issue.
Remember, the best book reviewers avoid plot summary and never, ever give away the ending. Instead, they share their opinions of the book along with concrete reasons to support those opinions. Take a look at book reviews weive published in previous issues -- notice how they lean more toward opinion than plot summary.
Oh, and one more thing. The following is a list of all the books weive reviewed so far this year. We want to get the word out about as many fresh titles as we can, so consider this your DO NOT review list. Click here for submission guidelines.
