Slavic Queer Studies is looking for reviewers of recent scholarly publications. Reviews should be no longer than 1,000 words and speak broadly to the contribution these publications make to our field of study. Authors interested in reviewing works from our current list or interested in proposing additional books should contact the editors at sqsjournal@gmail.com, so as to receive support in acquiring review copies.

We welcome review requests from graduate students but require that they consult with their advisors and have them read their reviews prior to submission.
