Editorial policy & inquiries
Submissions & press
We welcome advance records, screeners and books for consideration. The door is open, with a few rules we keep.
Our policy
Lion in a Suit is an independent publication. We accept work for review consideration only — coverage is never guaranteed, and reviews are never for sale. We don't publish sponsored editorial or paid criticism. If something stays with us, we'll write about it on our own terms.
Music
[Music]
What we look for. Albums, EPs and single cuts across art-pop, post-punk, modern jazz, archival soul, left-field electronic and cinematic soundscapes.
How to send. Streaming links only — private SoundCloud, Bandcamp or a streaming preview. Please don't attach MP3 or WAV files. Vinyl and tapes are received with genuine care; mention it in your note if you'd like to mail a copy.
Film & Television
[Screeners]
What we look for. Independent cinema, documentaries, festival selections, arthouse animation and distinctive series.
How to send. Secure screener links (Vimeo, Festival Scope) with the password and expiry date clearly noted.
Books & Print
[Books]
What we look for. Contemporary fiction, cultural criticism, design and architecture, poetry and literature in translation.
How to send. Digital review copies (PDF or ePub) or advance physical galleys.

editor@lioninasuit.com- Start the subject with a tag above, then the title and artist or author.
- Keep the note brief: who you are, what the work is, and why it belongs here.
- We listen, watch and read as much as time allows. Our circle is small, so we can't reply to every submission personally — but every thoughtful email is considered.
