Write a review for VATE

VATE regularly receives review copies of new texts from writers and publishers. This is a great way to trial new textbooks and novels in your teaching and support other VATE members by helping them select items for their own reading and professional use. If you would like to receive and review one of the available books, please send an expression of interest to: publications@vate.org.au. Please note: review books are only available to current VATE members (both individual and organisational). Members with close links to institutions or companies should avoid reviewing titles published by these organisations. Writers and publishers who are interested in having their books reviewed by VATE members are also invited to email publications@vate.org.au for further information.
