Sourcebooks Fire is dedicated to publishing quality fiction and nonfiction for young adults. We are drawn to dynamic, engaging, and innovative storytelling, seeking out books with authentic teen voices that recreate—and validate—the teen experience in all of its diversity, whether it's heart-wrenching romance, laugh-out-loud humor, haunting mystery, or thrilling fantasy. At Sourcebooks Fire, we strive to publish not just great books, but to build great authors.
Sourcebooks reserves the right to accept or decline requests on a case by case basis.
If the requester is a blogger/online reviewer, a link to their blog/site should be listed in their profile
--Blog/Website should be updated regularly
--Blog/Website content must be relevant to book requested (i.e. a YA blog requesting an adult title or a paranormal focused blog requesting a historical is less likely to be approved)
--Requester must share their email address for following-up purposes
--Requester should include as much statistical information as they can about their blog/site
--how many unique visitors your blog gets each month
--how many comments you get on your blog posts each month

Booksellers, librarians, educators and media professionals are almost always approved, so long as their bio/description is relevant to the subject matter of the book.
Requesters should have additional means of spreading the word about books.
(Reviews only on sites like LibraryThing and GoodReads are not quite enough)
If your request is approved, please do the following:
Wait to post/publish your review until a month prior to publication month, and aim to have your review posted by the end of the publication month
--We prefer that you notify us of your review via NetGalley.
