E-Review Guidelines
We want your clearly-formed and thoughtfully composed opinions. You don't have to love the book, you don't have to loath the book -- all you have to have is a reaction. Please follow these guidelines: 1) All E-Reviews must be submitted electronically. Send to reviews editor, Megan O'Reilly::
The subject line should include your name and the word E-Review, ie: "E-Review - John Smith." Please send the review as an Word .doc or as a .txt file, to retain formatting. If those formats aren't available, simply paste the review into the body of the email. Include your name, contact information, and a breif beio, and also let us know if you'd like your email address included in the review, so readers might contact you. 2) So others are able to find it, we need the following information about the book being reviewed: the publisher's name, postal address, and web address (if possible); the author's name, ISBN#, page count, and cover price. 3) Reviews can be anwhere from 300 to 10,000 words, on any book of any length relating to poetry -- full-length collections, anthologies, chapbooks, essays, style guides, textbooks...anything having to do with poetry is acceptable. 4) Please be courteous and professional. If you don't like the book, criticize the work, not the author. Inflamatory or ad hominem attacks will not be published. 5) No reviews of your own books. 6) The rights to the review must be yours to give -- if the review has already been published in another journal, we don't want to step on any toes, but if the first publisher allows, we don't mind reprints. 7) If we receive multiple reviews of the same book, we'd be happy to post differing opinions side-by-side. Feel free to send reviews of books that have already been reviewed. However, you have to have a new take on the book -- if you're just repeating what someone has already said, that's not useful enough to publish. That's it. Send in the review, and we'll read it quickly and tell you yes or no. E-Reviews posted will stay up indefinitely, unless you request to have them removed. Payment is one copy of a forthcoming issue of RATTLE.
