    I am trying to search for a particular title, but it is no longer available for peer review. Why?

    You can search for a particular manuscript to review by title, subtitle, author, genre, sub-genre, about the book, about the author, author notes, and keywords. You may also navigate to another member's profile and view a list of all the titles that person has posted and reviewed. If you still can't find that particular manuscript, it's possible the author has removed the manuscript, either temporarily or permanently.

The manuscript will open and a review editor dashboard to the right of the manuscript will be displayed for you to fill in. You can also choose to follow the book by selecting the "follow" button under the cover. Following the book allows you to receive updates about that book's reviews and new drafts in your news feed.
