Subject: CFP: Sobriquet Magazine: Book Reviews (ongoing; journal)


The editors of Sobriquet Magazine are looking for reviewers of contemporary
literature and criticism. We will consider all reviews of novels, plays,
poetry, criticism, and belles lettres released since the start of 2004, but
are especially interested in the list following this message. Unfortunately,
our funding makes it impossible for Sobriquet to provide review copies at
present, so we ask that reviewers either own, purchase, or borrow a copy of
the book they wish to review.

Review essays can vary in length from 500 to 4000 words Sobriquet Magazine
was established in 1995 as a print publication, but will be moving entirely
online in September. We welcome reviews in time for the web launch, but our
deadline is rolling and we will consider reviews year-round.

Though we prefer to receive reviews from active scholars and writers, we
encourage a less formal writing style for reviews that we do for essays.
The reviews should be coherent, well-written pieces, but are intended for an
audience that extends beyond the academy. As such, we ask reviewers to avoid
excessively convoluted language. Basically, have fun with the review, be
creative and don't worry about sounding erudite.
