Submission Guidelines

Please submit your non-returnable work with a cover letter of relevant information, and include any press releases or supporting materials. PDF files and ARCs may be submitted; however, we prefer the finished work. If you would like confirmation of the receipt of your submission, include a self-addressed, stamped postcard.

We receive a fairly large number of submissions, making it difficult to respond to each sender. We read each submission in the order that it was received and try to respond within three months. If you are still awaiting a response after three months have passed, you may contact us regarding your submission.

Submissions should be sent to:
The Children’s Book Review

Submissions are evaluated based on the following particulars: literary value, illustrative quality, and over-all presentation. Our reviews are always positive because we only appraise those books with the strongest potential impact on the reader. Read whole Review Policy …
