Your friendly neighborhood Mythlore Book Review Editor here!
Books for review in Mythlore (and Slayage, since there is some overlap in interest here)–updated list as of May 2, 2024.
As always, contact me OFF-LIST at [email protected] (for Slayage) or [email protected] (for Mythlore) to express interest, rather than responding here; those who follow directions get first consideration!
Outside the US: Alas, postage rates for overseas shipping are now prohibitive and reviewers outside the US can only choose from the e-books below. If you are particularly interested in one of the print books, contact me and I can see if the publisher will provide me an e-copy to share with you, or ship a print copy directly to you.
Review deadlines for Mythlore are August 25 and February 25. Reviewer guidelines for Mythlore can be found at https://dc.swosu.edu/mythlore/reviewer_instructions.pdf.
Review deadlines for Slayage are May 1 and November 1. Reviewer guidelines for Slayage are at https://www.whedonstudies.tv/slayage-book-reviewers-instructions.html
