We accept unsolicited submissions of book reviews at no charge.
The book being reviewed should be a work of poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction published no earlier than a year before the issue in which the review would appear. For example, reviews submitted for our next issue, June 2024 (Issue 56), should review books published no earlier than June 2023.
The reviews should be written for a general audience and avoid academic jargon.
Although we prefer book reviews of under 2,000 words, we are open to considering longer book reviews.
There is no fee for submitting a book review.
You may also pitch book review ideas by emailing the editors at pembrokemagazine@gmail.com.
We ask that you submit only one review at a time, and wait until you receive a response on a submission before sending more work.
