All excerpts must be attributed to “Kirkus Reviews” in italics, and industry standard best practices for proper excerpting must be followed. These practices include, but are not limited to, the following guidelines:

• If words are omitted from a quote, ellipses must be inserted in their place.
• No words may be added to the review.
• The integrity of the review may not be altered.

Examples of proper excerpts and attributions:

“An engrossing, haunting story about making up for lost time.” — Kirkus Reviews

“A wonderfully written, provocative novel that utilizes two distinct genres to promote progressive cultural messages.” — Kirkus Reviews

If your book earned a Kirkus Star, you may designate the award by adding “(starred review)” in parentheses behind “Kirkus Reviews.”

Examples of proper attribution of a starred review:

“A powerful saga of love and survival.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Powered by relentless pacing and jaw-dropping plot twists throughout, Bannon's debut novel is a science-fiction thriller of the highest order . . . In a word: mind-blowing.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
