Why Adventure and Exploration Books Still Need Thoughtful Reviews

In a crowded digital landscape, outdoor and exploration books can easily disappear. Algorithms reward speed and scale, not depth, and many titles struggle to reach the readers who would value them most. Reviews from discipline experts still play a vital role in connecting meaningful stories with the audiences who care about them.

I review books focused on adventure, exploration, and the outdoors. My reviews appear on established adventure media platforms and are also shared through my own channels, helping titles reach readers who are genuinely interested in adventure, expedition, exploration, and outdoor literature.

Book reviewing sits alongside my broader work in adventure and exploration media, and reflects the same context-rich approach I bring to reporting, commentary and analysis.

Example Book Reviews

My reviews have appeared in various titles including Outdoor Journal and Explorersweb and cover a range of adventure and non-fiction writing:

Where Your Book Will Be Seen

While placing reviews in traditional print publications is increasingly difficult, my work reaches engaged audiences through one or more of the following:

  • Online adventure media publications

  • Search-optimised blog posts

  • Social media

What I’m Looking For

I welcome review copies of non-fiction and narrative non-fiction related to:

  • Adventure, exploration and expeditions

  • General outdoor culture

  • Expedition history and culture

Both new releases and overlooked titles are welcome.
