Professional Reviews That Open Doors

We offer two powerful pathways to get your book in front of librarians and booksellers who are actively seeking new titles to stock on their shelves. Our flagship Foreword Magazine features highly selective pre-publication reviews, while our trusted Clarion fee-for-review service guarantees you a professional 400-word critique and star rating.

Both options deliver the professional review coverage libraries often require for purchase orders, and both are distributed through major industry platforms like Ingram and Baker & Taylor—helping your book reach the decision-makers who matter most.

UPCOMING RELEASES (4-7 MONTHS)

Foreword Review

Our flagship magazine opens doors for exceptional indie authors through highly selective pre-publication reviews. With thousands of submissions competing for just 100 coveted spots per issue, a Foreword Review is one of the most respected endorsements in indie publishing.

When your book earns this distinction, it reaches our engaged audience of librarians and booksellers at the perfect moment—before your publication date—creating valuable momentum as your book enters the market.

CURRENT AND UPCOMING TITLES

Clarion Review

As the industry's first and most trusted fee-for-review service, Clarion delivers expert critiques that boost your book's visibility to decision-makers across the publishing landscape. Our comprehensive 400-word assessments include detailed ratings from experienced reviewers, providing the professional credentials libraries often require.

When your book receives a Clarion Review, it gains exposure through major industry platforms where librarians and booksellers actively search for new titles, creating valuable opportunities for your work to reach its intended audience. Each review offers substantive analysis that helps buyers make informed decisions about adding your book to their collections.

“I want to thank Foreword Clarion Reviews for the service you provide to new authors. I find the fee, in respect to the quality of your review, to be the best money spent to receive the highest ROI.”

—T.W., Author
