Thomas, Mark

Mark Thomas is an English and Philosophy teacher (and rowing coach) in Beamsville, ON. In a perfect world he would be top water fishing for bass right now. He has recently published work in The Globe and Mail, The Literary Hatchet and Blackheart Magazine. He doesn’t have a blog or a twitter handle, but he does have a rotary dial phone and a home-made banjo.

Looking for book reviewers

CommuterLit likes to try out new content and services for its community. Therefore, we're thinking of replacing RERUN FRIDAY with REVIEW FRIDAY. We would post a no-longer-than-1,500-word book review each Fridays. Ideally, these would be reviews, written by CLcontributors, of books, short stories, publications, online blogs and chapbooks published by other CL contributors.

And so we are looking for reviewers and suggestions on what titles to review. Have a suggestion? Email the editor.

Have a middle-grader? Would he or she like to review a new middle-grade novel?
CL editor and publisher Nancy Kay Clark will be launching her new middle-grade novel, The Prince of Sudland: Escape from the Palace on Oct. 20 and is looking for reviewers, age 10 and up (it's a book written for kids of all ages — anyone who likes a good adventure story!).

If you would like to review the book or know a middle grader who might be interest, Nancy can get you a pre-launch copy of the book at a discount. Email the editor.
