We welcome proposals for book reviews for the blog, which publishes short-form reviews of recent film- and media-related books aimed at a non-exclusively academic audience and/or books focused on individual films/TV shows/auteurs, likely to be of interest to both our journal readership and general readers. Each quarterly issue of New Review of Film and Television Studies features reviews of important recent books in the study of international media. Book reviews published in the journal are typically solicited by the editors, but if you have a proposal, please contact Book Reviews Editor M. Sellers Johnson at msellers1923(AT)gmail(DOT)com. For the journal, we strongly prefer reviews of books published within the last 12-18 months, and reviews should fall between 1,000-2,000 words. Should you be interested in contributing a review for the blog, please submit a short description and brief bio to nrftsjournal(AT)gmail(DOT)com.
