Reason Papers regularly publishes book and film reviews. Interested reviewers should send an email indicating their interest in writing a review and the book(s)/film to be reviewed. We prefer that reviewers have a documented track record of scholarly book reviewing in English-language academic journals, but will consider first-time reviewers and others on a discretionary basis. First-time reviewers with Reason Papers should send a current CV in their initial email, and be prepared to send a writing sample upon request.
Typically the reviewer will already have a copy of the book to review or have already contacted the press for a review copy.
We prefer that reviews run within two or three years (four at the most) of the book’s publication date.
Please address all book review correspondence to reasonpapers@gmail.com, with the phrase “book review” (or “film review”) in the subject line. All review assignments are at the Editors’ discretion.
For more detailed information on writing a book review for Reason Papers, consult the Book Review/Review Essay section of our Submissions page. Guidelines on writing film reviews are forthcoming.
