Kirkus Indie Reviews
Since 1933, Kirkus has been one of the most trusted and authoritative voices in book discovery. All Kirkus Indie reviewers are experienced professionals who write honest, impartial evaluations of the titles they receive. The resulting reviews can be positive (possibly even earning a sought-after Kirkus Star), negative or in-between.
You’ll have the opportunity to read your completed review and decide if you’d like to have it posted to the Kirkus Indie website, which features more than 300,000 original reviews to help readers find the best new releases.
