Greetings!

Please excuse my cross-posting. I am the Book Reviews Editor for *Information
& Culture* (https://www.infoculturejournal.org/), an Information Studies
journal published by University of Texas press. I’m writing because we are
currently looking for new book reviewers.

Reviews are generally around 1,000 words in length, written for a broad
academic audience.

*If you’re interested, please email reviews at ischool.utexas.edu
<reviews at ischool.utexas.edu> *with your area of expertise and any other
relevant information.

You are free to pitch any book within the areas of information, media, and
communication (published within the last year), or to express interest in
one of the titles below.

Please note that we often receive quite a large response when we make these
solicitations, so I can't guarantee that you will be matched with your top
choice-- but I am always looking for new reviewers, and I am very happy to
record your areas of expertise so that we can reach out with other
potential books of interest.

Here is a partial list of the books we're currently looking to review
(curated with an emphasis on titles that I think will be of interest to
this community):
