Kirkus Reviews receives between 200 and 400 titles per day, a volume that makes quick decisions necessary on the part of the editors. The following guidelines should clarify the steps you should take to get your titles into the right hands at the right time. Kirkus Reviews does not review books that have already been published. (Go to www.kirkusdiscoveries.com for those review opportunities.) Kirkus does, however, consider any previously unpublished, but already contracted, titles that are submitted in galley form at least 3-4 months before publication date. As soon as a book is reviewed—almost always, this will be 2-3 months before its publication date—the publisher is notified of the issue date and instructions by which a copy of the review can be obtained. In turn, we require two copies of the finished book when available. WHAT WE REVIEW: There are a few hard and fast rules. By and large, we review all new adult hardcover or original trade-paperback fiction, general-audience nonfiction and children's and young-adult books. Beyond that, editors make individual judgments based on factors having to do with merit or potential interest. Kirkus Reviews does NOT review books in the categories listed below. (Kirkus Discoveries, however, does. Go to www.kirkusdiscoveries.com for more information.)
WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR GALLEY (TWO COPIES) FOR REVIEW: It is important that you include certain standard information—price, publication date (the more exact, the better), ISBN, page count, etc.—as well as a brief description of the book and some particulars about the author. Please note that we require 2 copies of every submission. If we do not receive 2 copies of each submission in the same package, the book will be passed over automatically. All adult titles to: Eric Liebetrau Kirkus Reviews 770 Broadway, 7th Floor New York, NY 10003 **Please note that the rules for children's and YA books have recently changed. For each submission, please send 2 copies to the New York address below, and 1 copy to the Maine address below (this is the same for finished books): Vicky Smith Kirkus Reviews 770 Broadway, 7th Floor New York, NY 10003 Vicky Smith 99 Mitchell Rd. S. Portland, ME 04106 |
