Sandy Ernest Allen is looking for pitches:
I’m working on an exciting new project with some illustrious co-conspirators, the full details of which will become evident to all, soon enough … For now, I’m interested in receiving recommendations of books written by a trans and queer authors that you feel were overlooked by the NYT book review between ~2013 - 2022 (under Pamela Paul’s leadership). If you are an author and you feel your book was overlooked, feel free to write me (or let me know on Bluesky). If you are a reader and you want to recommend a queer- or trans-authored book you adore that again the NYT did not review when it was released during this time-frame, again please feel free to let me know, either via this site or on Bluesky.
If you’re a book reviewer and you want to pitch a book to review for the aforementioned series, please pitch me via email. If you’re interested in reviewing a book: Send me a paragraph or two explaining why this book in particular (not much longer). Please share a brief bio for yourself and a website. Also include a couple of your best clips, ideally previously published book reviews. Please reach out via my contact form. This is a paid opportunity; I’m just coordinating on behalf of the publication which is $250 per ~800 - 1000 word review (and we’ll be assigning many so please tell your friends about this too, if they’re also book reviewers). We may have some flexibility, depending on what the outlet decides. I will discuss further specifics with those whose pitches we follow up with. Thank you!
