We welcome books written by women, for women, with an emphasis on women's lives, in over a dozen categories. We review new books, reissues, and print-on-demand books. We do not review books published more than two years before the current date, except for the classics in women's literature, which are always timely. With the exception of POD books, titles must be available through Amazon.com, where we also post our reviews.
We do not review out-of-print books, manuscripts, unbound galleys, or ebooks. We will consider paperback originals submitted at the time of publication only. Self-published books must meet professional standards of content and editorial preparation. We cannot guarantee to review a book you submit to us. We certainly cannot guarantee to review it favorably. (If you are an author submitting your own book for review, please take careful note of this.)
We do not accept reviews written or submitted by a book's author or publisher.
Our turn-around time is normally 6-8 weeks. If we review your book, we will email you the link to our online review. When you quote excerpts from our reviews for promotion purposes, please acknowledge the source (website and reviewer's name). Each review is copyrighted by the author. You will find reprint information at the bottom of the review page.
Authors, publicists, and publishers who are willing to provide advance reading copies or review copies should query the SCN Book Editor at bookreviews at storycirclebookreviews.org. Unsolicited books will NOT be considered for review.
The Story Circle Network review team is made up of a team of writers and published authors who have a wide-ranging interest in women's writing. The team is led by published authors
Susan Wittig Albert, Paula Stallings Yost, and Linda Wisniewski
(bookreviews at storycirclebookreviews.org).
