Pitch notes

US. Reads only Jan 1-Apr 14; non-reading period Apr 15-Dec 31 (closed now, reopens Jan 1, 2027). Online or mailed submissions, never email. Reviews must be essays broader than the book/show/exhibit they cover. Replies in two days to two weeks online.

Our take: coming soon. Spot something out of date? Tell us. Always confirm on the outlet's own page before pitching; pages change without notice.
