Peevish Penman is excited to announce that we are now accepting book submissions for review. As a former librarian, I approach each book review much like writing a catalog record—meticulously learning enough about the book to answer the essential questions readers might have. My goal is to provide insightful, thoughtful reviews that reflect the heart of the book.
My personal preference is for independent science fiction and fantasy books, but I'm also open to reviewing horror, mystery, and any genre that provokes deep thought and contemplation. If you'd like me to review your book, please send a PDF version. I look forward to discovering stories that challenge the mind and expand the imagination.
