Good Books is a seasonal online journal featuring book reviews, new and classic poetry, author interviews and more. 

Good Books is a seasonal online journal with reviews of both old and new books across genres, classic seasonal poetry and poetry from our contributors. All poetry submissions should connect to the season in some way, though broad interpretations are welcome. 

Our focus is on uplifting work, which does not mean that you cannot address difficult topics, but the reader should come away feeling inspired, moved, hopeful. 

Additionally, we publish 1-2 pieces of creative non-fiction per issue. These pieces do not have to be tied to the season, but should in some way touch on writing, reading or (a love of) books. There's also an opening for one author interview per issue. 

If you'd like to be featured, or if you have an idea for an interview subject or a CNF piece, feel free to send an email to goodbooksmag@gmail.com. 

No AI, no discrimination or hateful language. All are welcome here. 

Please read the linked submission guidelines before submitting.
