Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it being considered for or awaiting publication elsewhere. 

  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx). 

  • The text is double-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics for book and film titles, rather than underlining.

  • You have prepared a short author biography as a separate file.

  • The article must begin with a title, a 150 word abstract and 6 keywords (in the submission document itself). The abstract should be a single paragraph with no quotations or citations.

  • Your article is properly referenced using any recognised citation style. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citation (If accepted for publication, the author must reformat to APA 7th edition).

  • Your submission must be anonymised. Do not include your name or contact details in the submission document.

  • This submission is between 7,000 and 10,000 words long including the abstract, footnotes and the bibliography.
    • Book reviews have a maximum of 1,500 words.
  • Authors who use AI tools in their article must disclose how the AI tool was used and which tool was used (including, but not limited to, text generation, image generation, translation, text editing, and bibliography generation). Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics. See Edinburgh University Press Publication Ethics policies here.

Book Reviews

Book Reviews: 750 - 1,500 words 

We generally commission book reviews and do not accept unsolicited submissions.

Book reviews are not blind peer-reviewed and so should include your name, institution and email address.

Book reviews should only have the details of the book reviewed as their title. Please do not use discursive titles. The format is:

Firstname Surname (Year). Title: Subtitle. Publisher, # pp.
