A note from Rose McLarney (poetry ’10)

Southern Humanities Review, a literary journal published quarterly since 1969, is seeking book reviews for publication in the website’s ongoing series. I am the co-editor of SHR. And, remembering the Warren Wilson MFA’s annotation-writing and craft lectures well, I imagine that fellow alumni would make great reviewers. 

Here are the details: Southern Humanities Review welcomes book reviews of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.

Please submit a 150 to 300 word pitch including the title of the work you would like to review, the book’s author, and a short summary. Also include your bio in a brief cover letter. 

Complete reviews are to be 1300 – 2000 words. They should contain quoted material from the book throughout, as well as information on the book’s publisher, the publication year, the number of pages, and the price.

There are many reviews at www.southernhumanitesreview.com. Here is an example of one that is well-structured for SHR:
