For the Book Review Campaign, all review sources require a bound galley consisting of an all-text cover page detailing relevant purchase and order information. Xlibris’ production department will incorporate this page into the initial design of your book interior. Once you approve the design, we will mail the galley to each book review editor at the media outlet you selected. You will receive the fifth for your own records.

Sources likely to be interested in your book review galley are your local media:

Daily Newspapers, weekly Newspapers, radio talk shows, colleges and universities, TV news and cable stations.

Because of consistently high volumes of submitted book review galleys, the sources below tend to be somewhat less responsive than your local targets for positive book reviews. However, they still welcome any independently published book review galleys (please take note that some require 2 galleys):

Publisher’s Weekly (2), The Library Journal (2), Foreword Magazine, Independent Publishers, School Library Journal (2), Voice Literary Supplement, The Bloomsbury Review(2), Boston Book Review (2), Hungry Mind Review, Small Press Review, Library Talk, VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates, for Children’s and Young Adults Books) (2)

Please list all possible information regarding each Book Review source you would like your galleys sent to:
