Review
Reckoning is pleased to announce we are open to reviews of nonfiction that centers themes of environmental justice. The majority of our nonfiction reviews will cover books published in the last year; however, we will consider reviews of older titles that either didn’t get the attention they deserved when they were published or are freshly relevant. We’re particularly interested in covering books from independent presses and authors from historically marginalized groups.
