Submissions
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 200 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).
- Do not include your name or contact details in the submission document. If referring to your own published work, refer to yourself in the third person. There is no need to redact such citations but the submission text should not explicitly identify you as the author.
- This submission is between 7,000 and 10,000 words long including the bibliography. Book reviews have a maximum of 1,500 words. Calls for abstracts require 500 words only.
