Why are reviews for Kirkus Indie paid, whereas reviews for Kirkus Reviews are not?
From a print-production and economic standpoint, it is impossible for Kirkus Reviews to review titles that fall outside the realm of traditional, mainstream trade titles from traditional, mainstream and other established publishers. That’s where Kirkus Indie comes in. No matter what type of book you’d like reviewed, Kirkus Indie can accommodate you, with the chance to have it included in an issue of Kirkus Reviews and the monthly Kirkus newsletter, which are distributed to key book-buying and filmmaking professionals and representatives.
