Kirkus Reviews is an American book review publication with a long history dating back to 1933. Published twice a month on the first and the fifteenth, it provides advance looks at forthcoming titles and reviews thousands of books each year. The organization operates from Austin, Texas, with additional presence in New York, and functions as a mid-sized enterprise in the writing and editing sector. Its services extend beyond traditional reviews to support authors at different stages of publication. Through Kirkus Indie, Kirkus Editorial, and Kirkus Marketing, the company offers review, editing, and promotional support aimed at helping self-published authors reach readers and connect with publishers, agents, and other industry decision makers. In January 2026, Kirkus Reviews announced the acquisition of AudioFile Magazine, reflecting a recent expansion in its footprint within the book-media landscape.
