Review for Us

Book Reviewer Guidelines

We ask that reviewers are available to review at least one book per month; books are sent according to a reviewer's expressed subject interests. Reviewers are asked not to review for other publications the same books they review for The Urban Book Source and not to send copies of their reviews to publishers or authors.

The urban fiction industry expects an Urban Book Source review to be based on thorough, fair, and careful reading. Therefore we ask that all reviews be based on a critical appraisal of both content and execution.

More Details:

• Book reviews should be at least 250 words.
• While it is our policy to edit as little as possible when need be, reviews may be reorganized or condensed when necessary and minor changes are made, but the reviewers stated opinion will always be preserved.
• Reviewers keep all books sent to them.
• All reviews will be published.
• There is no payment for reviews.

Become a book reviewer for The Urban Book Source and join the ranks of the most comprehensive online publication of urban literature. To be considered, please send two writing samples, one of them being a recent book review (if possible) to: urbanbooksource@gmail.com

The Urban Book Source was launched in January of 2006 and has become one of most popular websites on the internet for urban literature, black writers, publishers and readers.
