Reviews
Allegra generally publishes 2-3 calls for reviews per year. We also accept reviews outside of formal calls, if we think the book to be of interest to our audience. As we receive many requests for reviews, please write 2-3 sentences explaining why you would like to review this book, indicating how it relates to your own research or interests. Kindly include your postal address and phone number for delivery, should a hard copy be available from the publisher. The review is to be written within three months from receiving the book and should not exceed 2000 words.
Symposiums
We also publish book symposiums. A symposium is meant to discuss different aspects of a book and can include a response from the author. Each contribution to a symposium should not exceed 1500 words.
Once your review has been accepted for publication, we will ask for an author bio (60 words max) so that your profile can appear on the site: https://allegralaboratory.net/authors/
If you want your photo to appear next to your bio, please create an account on gravatar.com and upload a picture on your profile. You should make sure that the email address you are using to register on Gravatar is the same as the one you used to communicate with Allegra. If for whatever reason, you would rather not have a photo or need to remain anonymous then please let us know.
Here are instructions on how to create a Gravatar profile:
- Go to: https://gravatar.com/, click on ‘get started now’. Follow the cues to create a new profile.

- Now, click on ‘About’ and enter your name and a short bio (80 words). Please note that this profile is public. You can also change your ‘profile url’, although this is not compulsory.
