    Posting on behalf of Kate Quealy-Gainer

    The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, one of the nation's premier children's literature review journals, is seeking new reviewers.

    Reviewers write between 5-10 reviews monthly, ranging from 150-300 words, and attend virtual meetings on most Wednesday mornings at 9 AM CT. You can view a sample issue at http://muse.jhu.edu/journal/313 (no login necessary). The Bulletin reviews books of most genre and formats, but we are currently looking for someone to focus on middle grade and YA contemporary realism and nonfiction.

    Full details are available through this link

    Thank you,

    Suzan
