Resources for Reviewers

Thank you for considering being a reviewer, or for volunteering! We appreciate it, as do those looking for a friendly reader.

Our goal is to match encouraging reviewers with writers to grow the voices represented in our professional literature. To this end, we offer the checklist below as a support for you as you review. We know not all elements will apply to the material you're reviewing, so don't feel pressure to address everything.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions, please email us so we can help.
