Book Review Guidelines
We invite the submission of book reviews for publication. Please consult the guidelines and list below to see books available for review. We also welcome your suggestions for books published within the last two years and will request any book that you are interested in reviewing from the publisher if we do not have it. Book review submissions are due by January 15 for publication in the Spring and by July 15 for publication in the Fall issue. They should be submitted as an electronic MS Word file emailed to Erin Redihan, Book Reviews Editor, at erin.redihan@salve.edu.
Prior to submission, please ensure that your manuscript adheres to the NEJH Style Guide.
