What type of magazine is ROOM?
Room: A Sketchbook for Analytic Action is an interdisciplinary magazine that was conceived as an agent of community building and transformation. Room’s innovative and accessible forum is an intersection of psychoanalysis, politics, and culture. Bringing different perspectives to bear on the complex problems facing us, Room invites greater familiarity with psychoanalysis as an important lens for personal, cultural, and political discourse.
ROOM isn’t a research publication or an academic journal. ROOM is a unique magazine that offers a dynamic, public, analytic space designed to create and deepen connections between ourselves and our communities through writing, art, and activism. Room is a community action that cultivates meaning and new perspectives through quality work, and accessibility.
ROOM publishes 3 issues per year in February, June, and October. The magazine is free and is delivered in 3 formats: a digital PDF for download, a Website conceived as an archive, and a printed version on demand.
Books for Review
ROOM welcomes proposals for potential books to review. We publish book reviews on a relatively rare basis and do so only when an editor takes sincere and devoted interest and the given book review is in tune with the themes and contents of an issue of ROOM. We will only reply if your work is requested for potential review. We sincerely appreciate the chance to see your work and recognize new and emerging contributions to the psychoanalytic field.
Requirements of potential books for review:
1. The title must be informed by and or engage with psychoanalysis.
2. The title must be published or set to be published within a two-year date of the time of submission.
