Submissions    

Typescripts should be double-spaced, except for endnotes (or footnotes), which may be single-spaced. References should be included in the notes rather than in-text. Bibliographic information should be included in the notes rather than in a separate bibliography. We prefer manuscripts of 8,000-12,000 words in length, but shorter or longer papers may also be considered. We will also consider unsolicited book review essays (8,000-10,000 words) and shorter book reviews (2,000-3,500 words) for publication.

Papers should be prepared for blind review and submitted electronically (preferably as Microsoft Word documents) to journals@mailer.fsu.edu. Author-identifying information, any deleted references or acknowledgments, and a statement that the manuscript is not currently under consideration elsewhere should be included in a separate note. An email address should be provided for acknowledgment of receipt.

All papers are peer reviewed. The review process is normally completed within 8-10 weeks, with accepted articles appearing 6 to 12 months after acceptance of the final version of the paper. Our acceptance rate is 15 percent.
