A positive review in one or more of the major review journals (such as Library Journal, School Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, The Horn Book, and Publisher’s Weekly) is the best way to bring a title to our attention. We are more likely to consider a title if it has been positively reviewed in a major review journal. Major review journals have information on their websites for authors to submit their work for review.
Authors and publishers may also bring their title to our attention by emailing us:
- Basic bibliographic information about the title, including title, author, ISBN, publisher, date of publication, number of pages, price, and distributor.
- A link to the title’s website and links to professional reviews or other coverage in the media, if available.
- A brief description of the title and its intended audience and information about how or where to purchase it.
WPL does not accept review copies, notify individual authors or publishers of ordering decisions, or give feedback.
