Writing a Book Review
Tips, Structure, and Inquiry Email
Writing a book review is a great thing to do for many reasons:
1. It’s good practice for thinking and writing critically about what we read. 2. It is useful for others working or studying in the field.
3. It’s probably the shortest route to publication.
Tips
1. Include all of the elements listed in the structure section below.
2. Make it critical. Reviews that discuss both the strengths and weaknesses of the book are more useful, more interesting, and more likely to get published.
3. Focus only on the book. Keep the introduction and any background information to a minimum.
4. Find 3–5 suitable journals. They must have published book reviews recently.
5. Read book reviews that the journal has published recently to understand the format.
6. Email the editors of those journals to ask if they are willing to accept your book review. See the email format below.
7. If the editors are willing, find the author guidelines for the journal, follow them exactly, and submit the book review.
Structure
Try to include all of these elements in your book review. If the journal has a suggested format, follow that as well.
1. Introduction (highlighting the book's place and importance in the broader academic field) (1 paragraph)
2. Brief information about the author (This should be 1–2 sentences in the first paragraph.) 3. Structure and content of the book
4. Strengths (and contribution to knowledge)
5. Weaknesses (and things that could be improved)
6. Audience (i.e., Who will the book be useful for?)
7. Future research
8. Conclusion (Audience and future research can be included in this paragraph.) 9. References
a. Some journals do not require or do not allow references. Check the guidelines and past book reviews that they have published.
b. Parenthetical citations should be included in the text, often in numbers 3–5 above.
Inquiry Email
To avoid wasting time by submitting a book review to journals that won’t accept it, it’s best to email the editor before submission. If they aren’t interested, try another journal. If they are willing to look at it, follow their guidelines exactly when submitting the review. Below is a basic template for writing an inquiry email. Make sure to change the information in [brackets].
Subject: Inquiry about book review submission for [Book Title]
