Please complete this form to provide names and contact details for the publications or websites you think most likely to review your book (suggestions for specialist journals, newsletters, websites or blogs are the most useful). Note that we may not send out review copies to all the publications you suggest. In particular, we restrict the number of publicity copies sent to national newspapers.
Reviews of your book are always a good promotion tool. Please do share them with your editor, as we don’t always get to hear of these. We can often use positive reviews in our marketing campaigns. Also if you receive a positive response to your book from peers and students, you might want to encourage them to post these on Amazon.

We host interesting articles written by authors on the fascinating topics covered in the textbooks we publish, as well as insights into higher education teaching around the world.
