Mythlore Reviewer Guidelines

Mythlore reviewers should be familiar with the journal’s statement of editorial purpose (reproduced below). Sample reviews may be found on the journal’s website.

Items for review in Mythlore may be solicited by the editor, sent on spec by the publisher, or suggested to the editor by a potential reviewer. We do not accept unsolicited reviews; all items for review must be approved by the editor in advance.

We review books and other items in the following categories:
We do NOT review:
The book you review is yours to keep if you wish. You may find that a book you have agreed to review is not, in your opinion, worth reviewing; in this case, please contact me and we will decide if it should go on to another reviewer or simply not be reviewed.

FORMATTING

Reviews should generally be over 500 words but less than 5000. At the beginning of your review, include information about the book in the following format:
