Proposal and Manuscript Review Board
IRA books are peer-reviewed at the proposal stage and occasionally at the manuscript stage. Members of the review board, listed below, are leaders in the field who lend their expertise and insight to help authors shape their work into truly outstanding publications. Our peer review process is single blind and the identity of reviewers is not revealed to the author. If you would like to join the review board, send an e-mail to books@reading.org.
