About Us

Kirkus Reviews, founded in 1933, is published twice monthly and reviews, one to three months before the publication date, 4,000-5,000 titles per year: fiction, mysteries, science fiction and fantasy, translations, nonfiction and children's and young adult books. The reviews are reliable and authoritative, written by specialists selected for their knowledge and expertise in a particular field.

It takes the Kirkus staff, plus more than 100 freelance writers, to cover such a voluminous and wide-ranging amount of books. Below is a directory of the staff.
