Newspaper
Book Review Editors

These book reviewers have been updated in February 2009 or later (the date noted after the listing). Note that the list also includes the website URL for other reporter contacts at these newspapers. If the contact is vital to you, verify the book reviewer's name and address before making submissions.

Please send us any corrections or additions. Email info@bookmarket.com. Thanks. Let's keep this list up-to-date for everyone.

Please note that most newspapers only review new books. So they need to see books (galley copies or advanced review copies) six to 12 weeks before the publication date of the book. For more about publication dates, see http://www.bookmarket.com/pubdate.htm.
