Submissions:

Printed manuscripts, in triplicate and accompanied by return postage, should follow the MLA Style Sheet with notes placed after the text.  Critical articles should not exceed 10,000 words, and non-commissioned book reviews should not exceed 2500 words.  All correspondence should be addressed to the Editors.

Manuscripts submitted as attachments to email should also follow the MLA format and the length limits noted above.  Such submissions should be sent to the general Genre email address above, accompanied by a cover message containing institutional or other scholarly affiliation as well as snail mail address information.  If we encounter any difficulty in accessing your file attachment, we will contact you via email and attempt to correct any incompatibility problems so that your file can be read.  If compatibility issues cannot be resolved via email, we reserve the right to request print submission of the manuscript in question.
 
 

Peer Review:

In cases involving relatively non-canonical subjects of study or uncommon interdisciplinary combinations, we ask authors to include a short list of qualified reviewers to which we can turn if we are unable to locate readers in our existing pool.   If such a list does not accompany the submission, we may contact the author to request one.
