Newspaper Book Review Editors

These book reviewers have been updated as indicated by the date noted after the listing. Note that this list also often 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 books@bookmarketingbestsellers.com. Thanks. I need your feedback to keep this list up-to-date.

Please note that most newspapers don’t review books any more and, when they do, they 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.

If a nonfiction book has some immediate relevance to something going on in Sacra-tomato, they might give it some coverage.”

    John:

    Thanks for putting this list together which I just stumbled upon. It sure would be great to have an updated version of this list. I had about a 50% success rate in emailing the contacts listed to promote my new commercial real estate tale, “Don’t Sign the Lease! The Tale of a Triumphant Business Owner.” http://www.dontsignthelease.com.

    Appreciate your work,

    Jorge

  1. Please let me know which contacts were no longer valid.
    Note: Email success rates don’t always reflect a bad email address.
    Some email recipients have filters that reject any unsolicited emails.
    But I’d still like to know which emails did not work.
    John Kremer
