The US Review of Books accepts published books and prepublication galleys for review. (No manuscripts please.) We also review published e-books and audio books. A book review includes written coverage and category placement in our on-line publication. New reviews are listed on the recent reviews page and in our newsletter to subscribers. Additional services, such as book image display, link inclusion, feature placement, and banner placement may be requested. You can also get your title in front of thousands of social media followers.

Here's how to get your book(s) reviewed:

We have made the process easy. Simply select a book review service below, and we will guide you from there. However, if you are curious, here is how the review process works:

  1. Select a review service below, and pay by credit card via our secure server. Note: If you cannot pay by credit card, send a check or money order to Hopewell Publications, Attn: The US Review of Books, PO Box 11, Titusville, NJ 08560. Please include a valid e-mail address, but DO NOT SEND THE BOOK. Please wait for a reviewer assignment.
  2. Shortly after receiving your review request, we will contact you via e-mail for the book data. We need to know the title, a brief description, and review category before we schedule a review.
  3. Once your book is scheduled with a reviewer, we will send a shipping address. Please send the book within 10 days of receiving the shipping address. (E-books and audio books may be sent as e-mail attachments.)
  4. Reviews are typically written, edited, and published in 3-4 weeks after receiving your book. When the review is written, we will send a copy of the review prior to publication. If additional services were requested, we will provide a schedule for those review features.

Place your review on our front page with our Feature Review. Post a front page banner advertisement and work social media with our Premium Review. Employ all of our signature services along with an extended review of 500+ words with our Platinum Review. Get the Plus Review completed in ten days or less with our Express Review.

 

Review

The Review package includes an approximately 250-300 word review of your book, which will be permanently listed by title under one category. Your title will also be listed under recent reviews for one month and in the monthly newsletter to over subscribers. Each review will have quick access buttons linking the review to hundreds of potential social media sites. If you would like a book cover image and sales link added, please order the Plus Review at a nominal cost upgrade.

Premium Review

The Premium Review package includes the services of the Feature Review, as well as main page banner placement for one month and a book mention to the thousands of followers on our social media feeds.

Banner placement involves a book cover image and link in the premium banner position of the main page. Depending on the number of premium requests, your placement will show from 25 to 100% (typically 50%) of the time. This option is renewable for one and three-month periods. Note: Due to space restrictions, this service cannot always be scheduled to coincide with the release of your book review.

Platinum Review

The Platinum Review package includes the services of the Premium Review, but in an extended feature article about the book and author. While all of our reviews provide solid and professional coverage, this is our most in-depth feature in content and length. The article, which will appear on the front page of our publication, will run at least 500 words and include further summary, criticism, and source materials. It should form a great addition to your public profile and media kits.

Read examples of Platinum Reviews: review #1, review #2, review #3.
