General submission guidelines
Submissions must be sent three (3) months—preferably four (4)—prior to the 1st day of the month of publication.
You must send two (2) copies of every title submitted. Submissions of a single copy will not be considered. Digital galleys should be uploaded through our GalleyTracker platform. We do not accept e-galleys via NetGalley or Edelweiss, due to our need to protect reviewer anonymity.
All galleys should have the following information on the cover:
- Title
- Author
- Price
- Publisher and imprint
- Format
- Number of pages in the finished book
- 13-digit ISBN
- Month and day of publication
- Distribution arrangements
- Publicity contact information
An accompanying letter should contain a description or synopsis of the book, and any pertinent publicity information, including the author's previous titles, blurbs, or previous reviews. Book club, paperback, audio or movie rights sales, author tours of 5 cities or more, a print run of more than 10,000 or an ad/promo budget of more than $30,000 should be noted.
Please include a separate cover sheet or letter for each copy of every title submitted.
Finished books and bound manuscripts are acceptable for submission. Please clearly mark them "In Lieu of Galleys." Unbound F&Gs are acceptable only for submission of heavily illustrated books.
To be considered for review, books must have U.S. distribution. We review books in the following categories: Nonfiction, Fiction, Mystery/Thriller, Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror, Romance/Erotica, Poetry, Comics, and Lifestyle (cooking, gardening & home, health & fitness, and parenting). Again, children's titles have their own guidelines (see below). We consider self-published books for review through BookLife.
PW does not review periodicals, audiobooks, textbooks, technical manuals, reissues or new editions unless 70% or more of the content is new, reference books, books of strictly regional interest, travel guides, media and game tie-ins, journals, coloring books, devotionals and prayer books, or playscripts and dramatic works. Please do not submit partial or incomplete galleys.
Religion titles, including children's religion, should now be sent to the main PW address above; children's religion titles should be addressed to the Children's Reviews Department.
Children's book submission guidelines
Publishers Weekly reviews children's books in every issue. All of our reviews appear in advance of publication. Therefore, we request that titles submitted to them for review consideration be sent at least four months prior to publication date. Please send two copies of the galleys or folded-and-gathered sheets, followed by two copies of the finished book, when it becomes available.
Only books written for children will be considered for review. Please do not submit books aimed at parents or teachers.
Digital galleys can be submitted through their GalleyTracker platform.
Along with the books, please include the following information: price, ISBN, age level of readers (in years, not in school grades), page count, and publication month.
Guidelines for books from Canadian publishers on Publishers weekly
Publishers Weekly reviews Canadian books. By Canadian books, we mean books published by publishing houses based in Canada, both independents and Canadian branches of multinationals. The focus will be on Canadian authors, but international authors published in Canada will also be included. The reviews of Canadian books appear in PW's regular review section.
Publishers should note if they have North American rights or if the book is being published in the U.S., and if so by who and when.
Children's books should be sent to:
