We are looking to feature well written, well
researched essays on any topic within the queertheory.com website.
In general, Queer Theory editors and reviewers look for works
that speak with insight and respect to the incredible diversity of gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, intersexual, queer and
questioning cultures.
Papers are welcomed via electronic submission
(attachments in MSWord, WordPerfect, Adobe Acrobat, or html) by
undergraduates, graduates, postgraduates and anyone with good
writing skills. Queer Theory follows APA guidelines for its peer review process.
Works published elsewhere will be considered.
Criteria for Essays:
Ideal length for articles (that people will
read) on the internet is between 500 and 1500 words. Longer
essays can be divided. Try to keep submissions under 5000 words (about 15 pages or shorter).
Works should be typed and double-spaced. Format requirements: APA or MLA
styles (footnotes should be placed at the end of paper). Send one copy
to: academics@queertheory.com
Please include a vita or short bio.
Criteria for Short Fiction and Poetry:
Submissions should be no
longer than 5000 words (about 15 pages or shorter -- keep in mind that
people tend not to read pieces longer than 1500 words). Short fiction should
be typed and double-spaced. Poetry should be typed in the format in
which it would be printed. Send one copy to: academics@queertheory.com
Please include a vita or short bio.
Criteria for Artwork:
We are seeking artists for submissions of
portfolios. Electronic image is the preferred format, although we
can scan photos if you have no access to digital equipment. Send
your proposal with examples of your work to: academics@queertheory.com
If you have special requirements, let us know.
Please include a vita or short bio.
On all works, copyright reverts back to the
author upon publication. You have the right to request your
work removed from the queertheory website at any time.
Please allow 6-8
months for the review process and editorial decisions.
Contact the editors via e-mail at: academics@queertheory.com
Note: It goes without saying that we do
not accept for publication articles that promote hate and
prejudice.
