If you are a writer and you would like an honest review from Clutching at Straws, please inquire at shawnmisener227@gmail.com
It goes like this: You inquire, I give you my address, you send me your chapbook or full-length book, I write a review (and rate your book on a scale of 1-10 straws). The review is then posted here with two of the poems included. This will guarantee that between 100-200 unique visitors a day can preview your work. It’s simple, easy, and only costs you the price of your book (if you had to pay for it) and postage. You win with the exposure Clutching at straws offers, and I win because I get to bolster my poetry collection.
Disclaimer: I will not promise a positive review. I will be honest and review your work with an editor and writer’s eye. I am not afraid to rate a book “one straw” if it’s just, well, terrible.
Send your work today! Reviews will be posted within two weeks of receiving the manuscript.
Shawn Misener
Editor, Clutching at Straws
Hi Shawn, would you accept a pdf of a book for review?
Generally no. i like to feel a book as part of the review. Selfish? Maybe. . .
