The Horn Book Magazine, a bimonthly publication, reviews children’s and young adult books that are published in the United States. Publishers should send PDFs of appropriate new titles in advance of publication date (preferably three months) to:
Book Reviews
c/o mdelosreyes at hbook.com
Submissions must be accompanied by a notice with complete publication information, including price, publication date, and ISBN. Horn Book editors determine whether, when, and where the reviews appear. If a book has gatefolds or other physical features, please highlight that information when you submit it.
The Magazine reviews books very selectively, approximately one hundred titles an issue, and generally considers titles notable for high standards in plot, theme, characterization, and style. Board books and original paperbacks are occasionally reviewed.
NEW: As of 6/30/23, the editorial team will be working fully remotely. Some important information:
Simmons University, 300 The Fenway, Main College Building, Suite A-375
