Frequently Asked Questions

Do you purchase books for review requests?

No. The Modern Folio is a free resource for readers, authors, and writers, and I do not charge for reviews or features. Because of this and the fact that the blog is independently run, I am unable to purchase books for review consideration. If you would like to submit a title for review, please provide a review copy in a format I accept as outlined in the book review policy (found above).

Do you charge for book reviews or other features?

No. The Modern Folio does not charge authors, writers, or publishers for book reviews, interviews, or other standard features. The blog was created as a free resource to celebrate literature, support writers, and connect readers with new stories.

How does The Modern Folio Quarterly differ from the blog?

The blog is an ongoing space for regular posts and content, while the magazine is a curated publication released four times a year featuring selected and themed writing submitted by the community. You can learn more about The Modern Folio Quarterly and how to submit your work here.
