The list is formed primarily from review copies offered to us by publishers. Please note, however, that we are by no means restricted to reviewing the titles on this list. Additionally, if you have published a book that is not on our list and are able to provide a copy for us, please contact me at SEEJ.Book.Reviews@gmail.com
As we are a quarterly journal, we have deadlines every three months (at the start of November, February, May, and August).
Standard book reviews should be between 700 and 1000 words. Reviews of collections of articles, however, may be up to 1200 words.
Complete guidelines can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T1Y-QZMH-HfvWaTY8XMD9vVP8VnLc6Ml2EC9_Sj8mto/edit#heading=h.e3loe2e2aq38
