By Jennifer Bort Yacovissi Verified| Washington Independent Review of Books Verified We all know books have been under assault recently, as have the people trying to protect them. And a glance at the landscape tells us books are about to come under increased fire (we hope “fire” remains figurative). But we promise the Independent will continue advocating for books in all their wondrous diversity. We want everyone to read what they like — widely, deeply, fearlessly, and with boundless curiosity.
By Jennifer Bort Yacovissi Verified| Washington Independent Review of Books Verified We’re entering this season of giving at a particularly fraught moment. We all know that books have been under assault recently, as have the people trying to protect them. And a glance at the landscape tells us books are about to come under increased fire (we truly hope “fire” remains figurative). But you can be sure the Independent will continue to champion books in all their wondrous diversity, and we remain committed to connecting readers with books to love, argue about, savor, and share.

Washington Independent Review of Books
Welcome to the Independent, a nonprofit website dedicated to book reviews and writing about the world of books, and also host of the annual Washington Writers Conference. The Independent was launched in 2011 by dozens of writers and editors (mostly in the Washington, DC, area) who were frustrated by the disappearance of high-quality book reviews and standalone book-review sections in major newspapers. It has since grown exponentially.
