How to get your book or magazine reviewed at GUD
First and foremost, always query first! How to contact us:
Please indicate the title, format, and genre (or market niche) when contacting us.
We prefer to review small-press offerings, but try to steer clear of self-published items. We care a lot whether something has been well-edited, so if it hasn't, or if it comes across sloppily for any other reason, that will most likely be the first thing we mention. We will consider PDFs/ebooks, but those will generally take second seat to physical copies simply due to the constraints of time and practicality. We reserve the right to post an honest review, positive or negative, about any material submitted for review. We "syndicate" our reviews to a number of places, including but not limited to Goodreads, our MySpace blog, our LiveJournal feed, and Amazon (when applicable).
Please indicate the title, format, and genre (or market niche) when contacting us.
Physical copies sent for review will be raffled off to help promote both the book and the review.

GUD nominates authors and artists in the 2008 Preditors & Editors Readers' Poll over at Critters.
"Sparks and Shadows" is a collection of poems, short stories, and essays by GUD contributor Lucy Snyder ('Sublety', Issue 2). Snyder has a unique voice and her work is almost instantly recognisable. Dive into this collection and you begin to feel like you're swimming around inside her head. It's not necessarily comfortable in there, but it's certainly interesting.
