"No black woman in this culture can write 'too much.' Indeed, no woman writer has ever written enough." - bell hooks

Black women's stories deserve to be amplified and exposed to as large an audience as possible. But black women also deserve a vast space to engage with these books, publicly reflect on them, and offer insight from their own experience or perspective. For Colored Girls Book Club was founded on this premise, and The Review is no exception.

We invite black women and women of color to review books written by and about black women. You are also welcome to submit booklists, as well as interviews of and essays by black women or women of color authors.

The Review will publish once a week. As we grow, so will our publishing frequency. We are looking for distinct voices with a point of view and a penchant for storytelling.

We do not accept:

• Reviews of self-help, motivational, religious, scientific, inspirational, or children's picture books
• Reviews of your own book
• Review copies of your book
• Multiple submissions at once 
• Writing that has previously been published elsewhere
• Writing that does not engage a book, story, or narrative by a black woman or woman of color. 

A few other things of note:

• We accept (encourage, even) simultaneous submission, but let us know immediately when your work has been accepted elsewhere. 
• We acquire first serial rights worldwide in English and non-exclusive anthology rights. 
• This is a space that centers the voices of black women and women of color. Check your privilege before submitting.
• We try to respond to submissions within a month. Please do not inquire before 3 months have passed.

Our publication will go live mid-April. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for more updates.
