Review Policy

In response to recent inquiries, here is our policy for summaries or reviews:

Online ‘Zines and Journals–We will post summaries or reviews of online ‘zines and journals relevant to Goddess, women and religion, and spiritual feminism only if there is no impediment to reading them, such as registration, and they are free (except in cases where they pay contributors more than the cost of a subscription). Publishing on the Internet reduces greatly the cost of producing a journal (no printing or mailing costs). In addition, payment in copies isn’t possible. Therefore, we feel if an online journal is charging readers, it should be paying contributors. We understand that other people, such as editors, who put together these journals, deserve compensation too, but we suggest that getting that money from sponsors or advertisers, and/or asking for "free will" donations, may be more effective than charging readers. Charging readers decreases readership and thus decreases the only advantage to unpaid contributors of publishing in these ‘zines: having their materials read and seen by a large number of people.

Print Materials (journals, books)–We will consider for review print materials supplied to us, however we cannot promise to review them. If you have a print book or journal or magazine that is Goddess-oriented, and/or is relevant to women and religion or spiritual feminism that you want us to consider reviewing, please either select a contact method from those listed here or leave a comment at the end of this post (we review all comments before posting them, so if you don’t want us to post the comment, say so in the comment) and we will contact you with further instructions.
