How to submit your book for review

What we need from you, what happens after you submit, and why nothing appears in the catalogue without a human deciding it should.

Submitting is free and takes a few minutes. The form asks for less than you might expect, because a submission that is mostly guesses is harder to review than one that is honest about what is unknown.

What we need

A title and an author are required. An ISBN is optional but genuinely useful, because it lets us match your book to an existing catalogue record instead of creating a duplicate. A publication year, a genre and a short description are optional — leave them blank if you are not sure.

What happens next

A member of the team reviews every submission. If something is missing or looks wrong, we will email you rather than guessing. If we approve it, the book is added to the catalogue and to the relevant genre pages.

Your email address

We ask for one so we can contact you about a problem with your submission. It is never published, never displayed next to your book, and is not shared.
