Critical Margins explores the convergence between books and technology. We seek out the marginal aspects of reading: how the reading device, whether a book, e-reader, or web browser, can affect the way we read. We want to provide a new critical angle on how reading can and will change in the 21st Century, so we also provide in-depth reviews of new and emerging popular books and magazines.

If you are interested in writing for us, read our submissions page. We always accept pitches and are interested in full-time writers as well.

If you’d like something reviewed, or if you have an idea for a story or blog post that one of our writers could explore, read our press inquiry page.
