How Does My Book Become a Featured Review?

Books coming to ISW for written or video review services are assessed for entertainment value or social and cultural significance and literary quality, with grammatical and mechanical consideration. The review services are reserved for books receiving a four to five star rating. There is no charge for the assessment or if a book does not receive a high enough rating to be featured as a written review on the ISW blog or through the Limelight Book Review show.
