Reviewers Wanted!

With a weekly schedule, CM is an insatiatiable devourer of review copy. We have boxes of books in hand, and we're getting in touch with every publisher and producer of Canadian materials for young people and their educators and librarians we can to bring in more, but we need reviewers to cover all that material too.

What can we offer potential reviewers? Well, no money of course, but consider:
  1. the Prestige,
  2. the Glory, and
  3. that you get to keep the material you're reviewing!

Don't feel you have to be an experienced writer to sign on for our reviewer database (that's what editors are for), but we are looking for people who are willing to work promptly on material they agree to review: timeliness is an important aim of the new, electronic CM.

So, here's the form; if you're at all interested: Copy, fill it out, and send it by email to: editor@mbnet.mb.ca

Or print it off and fax or mail it to:

Duncan Thornton, Editor
CM
