The Boston Bibliophile: Review Policy

Welcome to Boston Bibliophile!

A bookseller by trade, I'm a librarian by training and an NBCC reviewer. Sometimes I review for the Association of Jewish Libraries' newsletter. I read and review current and backlist literary fiction, narrative nonfiction and books of Jewish interest.

I love small presses and world fiction. I also conduct interviews with authors and write about current goings-on in the literary world, favorite bookstores and bookish travel.

I work at a Barnes & Noble affiliated store. My opinions are my own and not those of my employer.

Feel free to come by and introduce yourself!

Contact me at bibliophile at bostonbibliophile.com.

Per my Review Policy I'm not accepting pitches until further notice.
