LITERARY JOURNALISM STUDIES, a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the
International Association for Literary Journalism Studies (IALJS),
invites submissions of scholarly articles on literary journalism,
which is also known as narrative journalism, literary reportage,
reportage literature, "new journalism" and the nonfiction novel, as
well as literary nonfiction and creative nonfiction that emphasizes
cultural revelation. The journal is international in scope and seeks
submissions on the theory, history and pedagogy of literary journalism
throughout the world. All disciplinary approaches are welcome.
To encourage an international dialogue, the journal is also willing to
consider publishing short examples or excerpts of literary journalism
from beyond the Anglosphere and accompanied by a scholarly gloss about
the author not widely known outside his or her country. The example or
excerpt must be translated into English. The scholarly gloss must be
between 1,500 and 2,500 words long and indicate why the example is
important in the context of its national culture. Together, both the
text and the gloss must not exceed 8,000 words in length. The
contributor is responsible for obtaining all copyright permissions,
including from the publisher, author, and translator as necessary.
E-mail submission (as an MS Word attachment) is mandatory, and
submissions should be between 4,000 and 8,000 words in length,
including notes. A cover page indicating the title of the paper, the
author's name and institutional affiliation, and contact information
must accompany all submissions. The author's name should not appear on
the required 100-word abstract or on the paper itself, as all
submissions will be blind reviewed. All submissions must be in English
and follow the Chicago Manual of Style (Humanities style with
endnotes). Please e-mail all submissions and/or related queries to the
editor at [log in to unmask]
