REVIEW GUIDELINES

Transition publishes thoughtful and thought-provoking reviews of books worth reading, films and performances worth seeing, and art exhibits worth visiting. Although constructive criticism of the works recommended is also appreciated, we usually feature review essays that point our readers toward works that deserve their attention, though the recommendation may of course be tempered by criticism.

As with our other prose, we expect our reviews to be gracefully written. We prefer to publish reviews that stand on their own as essays; in other words, they should be of interest to our readers whether or not they are familiar with the reviewed work. Most of our reviews fall somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 words.
