We're who booksellers, librarians, agents, publishing professionals, and readers turn to for reviews of the best titles from small, alternative, and academic presses. Established in 1998, we share indie-only coverage with the widest possible audience through our print and digital magazine, our website, our annual IndieFab book awards, and at international tradeshows. We were also an industry pioneer with Clarion Reviews, the first and most trusted fee-for-review service for indie and self-publishers.
