Publishers Weekly is expanding its coverage of children's religion/spirituality books. Children's religion reviews will now be a separate section in the reviews section of PW. These reviews will appear in the third issue of the month, beginning July 18; monthly in Religion BookLine, our e-newsletter devoted to religion publishing, beginning June 29; and as online exclusives. In addition to more reviews, PW's religion department will provide news and feature coverage of the category on a regular basis. For how to contact PW's religion editorial team for children's coverage read on.
Senior Religion Editor Lynn Garrett will oversee all news and feature coverage; please send news and feature information and pitches to her via e-mail only: lgarrett@publishersweekly.com
Religion Reviews Editor Marcia Z. Nelson is in charge of reviews. Submit two copies of galleys or folded-and-gathered sheets to: Marcia Z. Nelson, religion reviews editor, 1118 Garfield, Aurora, IL 60506; Marcia's e-mail contact is mnelson@publishersweekly.com
The next issue of our quarterly supplement, Religion Update, scheduled to publish August 8, will take a wide-angle look at the state of children's religion publishing with a feature package exclusively focused on the category.
For review purposes, we look to you as the publisher to decide whether your children's titles have religion and/or spirituality content and should be submitted to PW's religion department for review consideration; titles from your company without religion/spirituality content should be submitted to the children's department in PW's New York office. Please don't send the same titles to both the religion department and New York offices; it causes confusion and delay. Detailed submissions guidelines are available on PW's Web site.
We look forward to working with you as PW continues to provide the premier coverage of the religion publishing industry.
All the best,
