***ONE WEEK DEADLINE EXTENSION***

Please accept our apologies for cross posting, but we would like to draw your attention to this CFP for a special issue of the Journal of Screenwriting:

Special issue: ‘Screenwriting and Animation’

Guest editors: Paul Wells (Loughborough University, UK) and Chris Pallant (Canterbury Christ Church University, UK)

The Journal of Screenwriting is dedicating a special edition to the particular practices of scriptwriting, storyboarding, devising and pre-production in Animation and its related moving image practices.

These may include both analogue and digital approaches to text formation and construction, but should formally reference and acknowledge their particular condition as an animated film, TV episode, visual effect, interstitial, commercial, documentary insert or text, game, application, etc.

The editors are seeking a range of approaches to this topic, and would particularly welcome contributions from the following:

· Screenwriters / Practitioners addressing the particularities of writing for animation.

· Screenwriters / Practitioners deconstructing and analysing their own scripts / storyboards / pre-production materials,

· Screenwriters / Practitioners engaging with pertinent approaches to writing for various platforms, different contexts of broadcasting and exhibition, and for a range of techniques.

The editors are also seeking:

· Analyses of Animation Screenplays / Storyboards

· Analyses of Screenwriting Theory pertinent to Animation

· Analyses of Animation Production Methods and Processes

· Analyses of Animation Auteurs and Screenwriters

· Analyses of Animation Genres

These are merely guidelines and areas of enquiry, and all suggestions for approaches to this topic are welcome and can be discussed informally with the editors.

All articles will include a 250-word abstract, short biography and keywords, and should be sent to the co-editors of this issue, Paul Wells ([log in to unmask]) and Chris Pallant ([log in to unmask]).

DEADLINE FOR OUTLINE SUBMISSIONS: 7 JULY 2017

Subsequent articles should be between 4000 and 8000 words in length, including notes and references. Information for contributors about format is published at the end of each issue of the Journal and atwww.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals. All submitted articles should conform to the house style.

Best,

Chris and Paul
