History

Jewish Book World began in 1982 as a twelve-page pamphlet that was circulated to Jewish Community Centers, featuring short blurbs from publishers on approximately 50 new books of Jewish interest. In 1994, Jewish Book World grew from a pamphlet to a full-length magazine  published three times a year. This publication now, greatly expanded, appears quarterly and includes original reviews of over 120 books per issue, updates on literary events and industry news, author profiles, and articles on the world of Jewish books.

To Have a Book Reviewed

Jewish Book World features reviews of over 120 books in each issue. For a book to be considered for review there must be evidence of Jewish content and a new or recent copyright date (within the last year). JBW is currently accepting submissions with a 2014 or 2015 copyright.

Books are reviewed at the discretion of the editors and editorial committee. 

Please note that Jewish Book Council receives hundreds of books for possible review each quarter, so we ask that you not telephone to receive information on your book's status. If you are concerned that JBC did not receive your review copies, you may email jbc@jewishbooks.org with the name of your book and the date you submitted the title. If we have not received the book, we will contact you.
