With the new year, ACM is reassessing our call for books to review. We continue to review books published by small and university presses, because the Big Five or so have a relatively easier time getting their books noticed. What is changing is our focus on the political. We welcome reviews of fiction and creative nonfiction that uses a political/analytical lens to view self, others, and society. We welcome books that resist and books that question the status quo. And we’re especially interested in reviews of nonfiction trade books that address incarceration and liberation. As for style of review, we’re open to personal essay and experimental reviews, as well as traditional. If you would like to review a specific book, please let us know of your relationship, if any, to the author. Please note that we don't publish reviews by friends of the author or blurbers or blurbees of same. This portal is open for both reviews and queries.
