Submission Guidelines
How to submit a book for review by ForeWord Magazine
ForeWord magazine, a bi-monthly review journal, publishes reviews of great books from independent publishers to coincide with their publication dates. We require galleys, advance review copies, or an electronic query three to four months prior to the date of publication.
For hardcopy ARCs and galleys, submit one copy of the book with the following fact sheet information: category, title, subtitle, author, publisher, number of illustrations, pages, prices, binding, number of CDs, hours/minutes, ISBNs of formats, and pub dates. Include the publisher’s name, address, phone, and fax on the fact sheet.
For electronic submissions, send a query, fact sheet, cover art, and the first three chapters of the book. Send queries to heather@forewordmagazine.com.
We also accept submissions through NetGalley.
ForeWord receives more than 1,400 galleys/books, audios, PODs, and eBooks during every publishing period and can only select approximately 5% for review. Of the titles reviewed, 60% are nonfiction. Selection factors for nonfiction include current interest, editorial calendar, distinctiveness, preparation, and credibility. Fiction and mystery consideration is given to well-written books with interesting plots, settings, and characters. Other considerations for review include layout, audience, competition, and review space.
The readership of ForeWord magazine is comprised of 26,000 librarians, booksellers, literary agents, and other trade professionals who require a reliable source of reviews of books from independent and university presses.

The poems in this large collection-arranged not by chronology, but as a complete poem itself-should help. The collection is capacious not only in its length, but in the range of subjects, of reading evidenced in the poems, and of the mind at work and play with those subjects. There are small, smart prose poems, longer prose pieces, haiku-like poems, narrative poems, lyrics, and odes. His poems speak from around the globe: Venice, London, Santo Domingo, Guatemala, Vietnam, Santa Cruz, Singapore. Stroud enters the minds of painters such as Goya, Brueghel, and Giotto Bondone,....
