>Subject: CFP: Sobriquet Magazine: Book Reviews (ongoing; journal)
>
>
>The editors of Sobriquet Magazine are looking for reviewers of
>contemporary literature and criticism. We will consider all reviews 
>of novels, plays, poetry, criticism, and belles lettres released 
>since the start of 2004, but are especially interested in the list 
>following this message. Unfortunately, our funding makes it 
>impossible for Sobriquet to provide review copies at present, so we 
>ask that reviewers either own, purchase, or borrow a copy of the 
>book they wish to review.
>
>Review essays can vary in length from 500 to 4000 words Sobriquet 
>Magazine was established in 1995 as a print publication, but will be 
>moving entirely online in September. We welcome reviews in time for 
>the web launch, but our deadline is rolling and we will consider 
>reviews year-round.
>
>Though we prefer to receive reviews from active scholars and 
>writers, we encourage a less formal writing style for reviews that 
>we do for essays.  The reviews should be coherent, well-written 
>pieces, but are intended for an audience that extends beyond the 
>academy. As such, we ask reviewers to avoid excessively convoluted 
>language. Basically, have fun with the review, be creative and don't 
>worry about sounding erudite.
