Are you interested in writing book reviews but not quite sure how to begin? The aims of this class are twofold: to introduce you to the various platforms, channels, and approaches to writing reviews (as well as how to pitch them according to the "type" of review) and to discuss and model the craft of capsule reviews (typically ~250 words; my area of expertise as a Reviews Editor) alongside more expansive critical essays. I will draw on my own past reviews for The Times Literary Supplement, Poetry, and Kenyon Review to help you figure out which review style might work best given your goals and interests. Whether you're hoping to publish in journals, build a portfolio of web reviews, or simply sharpen your critical eye, I will help you understand the terrain of reviewing and provide you with a list of venues you might consider approaching with your own reviews.

You will receive a link to the class upon purchase. Replays available if you miss the class.
