Essay or Book Review
ESSAY
An essay is different than an article / manuscript in that it advances an idea, summarizes a development, or initiates or engages discussion. The topics, approaches, and insights are more diverse, and the author is freer to inject personality or voice into the piece.
BOOK REVIEW
Reviewers should not have a professional or personal relationship with the book's author. Reviews should provide an overview of the book's subject, and express opinion or provide critique on the work. The book's style, approach, documentation, educational value and entertainment value are all elements worthy of comment. Conventional book reviews published by the Journal are typically modest in length.
The Journal has a word limit of 2500 words (roughly 3-6 printed pages) for a review of one book. Deep engagement by a reviewer with the book under review, or several books by the same author, may be published as review essays.
Please note: The Journal reserves the right to copy edit and to make alterations without notice to the reviewer.
