Contact Us

We read every message that comes in. Here’s what we’re glad to hear about.

Suggest a book

Read something that genuinely changed how you think? Tell us. Reader suggestions are one of the main ways titles end up on our review list — particularly older books and ones that never got the attention they deserved.

Request a review

Publishers and authors are welcome to submit nonfiction titles for consideration. Two things worth knowing up front:

  • We can’t promise a review, and we can’t promise a positive one. Receiving a copy of a book buys consideration, nothing else.
  • If we review a book we received for free, we say so in the review.

Corrections

If we’ve got a fact wrong, we want to know. Point us at the specific claim and we’ll check it and correct the post, with a note explaining what changed.

Partnerships and advertising

We’re open to conversations about sponsorship and partnerships, provided they’re disclosed clearly and don’t influence how we rate a book. Anything that requires us to soften a review is a no.

We aim to reply within a few working days. If your message is about a specific book, including the title and author in the subject line helps us get to it faster.
