Books submitted at least four months in advance of publication have the strongest chance of receiving coverage.
All submissions must be available through reliable distribution channels, such as Ingram. Currently, we do not review ebook-only or print-on-demand titles.
Please be aware that we do not notify publishers when their books are selected for review. The best way to verify coverage is by reading our newsletters. Be sure to sign up for both the Pro and Readers editions here: http://www.shelf-awareness.com/xs/register
