Kirkus Reviews

Written By Joe Smolen

Two or three-sentence Reviews written by consumers will largely determine how long the novel Lostine lives.

I have mentioned that as a part of the publishing process, Sterncastle Publishing will put my novel Lostine before Kirkus Reviews in December.

Kirkus Reviews is a long-established, authoritative magazine and website that publishes professional, unbiased book reviews to aid discovery in the publishing industry and among consumers. Founded in 1933, Kirkus Reviews reviews over 8,000 books annually, with reviews appearing in its twice-monthly magazine, on its website, and in email newsletters. The reviews, which include both plot summaries and professional opinion, are used by librarians, booksellers, publishers, and consumers to discover new books and decide whether to stock or buy them

Joe Smolen

Joe C. Smolen, AKA L.W. Smolen is an Oregon Coast writer of insufficiently exaggerated notoriety. Never having been arrested, he lives with his wife Sherrie and the ghost of their black, Standard Poodle Rico Suave in a really pretty good, Prairie Style house they built themselves. Since the Literary Magazine Fleas on the Dog of Kitchener, Ontario has permanently stopped accepting submissions, in order to read L.W. Smolen’s 2021 short fiction, A Real Guy, you are referred to joecsmolen.com. Some of L.W’s other, subsequent short fictions are archived at Olive Tree Review, Ginosko, Cardinal Sins Journal, Wrath Bearing Tree, Wilderness House and etc. Kirkus reviews once interpreted his work favorably.
