“Phoebe is pleased to announce the publication of monthly book reviews beginning this November! 

Phoebe looks for reviews of literary prose and poetry titles which are recent, forthcoming, or deserving of a wider audience and additional consideration. We are especially interested in titles from independent or small presses.

Generally, the length of a review should be somewhere between 750 and 900 words, though should a review merit a longer length we’re not going to stop reading when we reach 900 words.

In general, when considering whether a review is right for Phoebe, we look at not only the book selected, but also author voice, clarity, and compelling argument which changes the way we think about a book. If you are interested in publishing a book review with Phoebe, see our Submission Guidelines.

—Douglas Luman, Book Review Editor”
