Colloquy Submissions

Call for Articles - Issue 18

Colloquy is presently seeking unsolicited submissions for this and future issues. Academic articles and review articles (both of which are fully refereed in a double-blind process), book reviews, translations, opinion essays and creative writing will be considered. We encourage postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and research fellows to submit scholarly articles in line with the style guide.

About Submissions

Submissions are being accepted from postgraduates, recent doctoral graduates and post-doctoral fellows working in the fields of literature, literary theory, cultural studies, Film & Television Studies, translation theory, cinema, and theatre.

All articles, review articles and translations will be blind-refereed by academics working in appropriate fields for assessment to ensure the originality and currency of the journal, and to maintain a high standard of critical writing.

All submissions must be accompanied by an email or letter which will:
* state clearly that the article/review etc is not submitted simultaneously for consideration to any other publication.
* supply the author's institutional affiliation and the author's correspondence address.
* a short abstract of the submission (up to 150 words), and up to five key-words.
* a short biographical note is optional.

Submissions should be spaced at 1.5 points. Please include page numbers.
Submissions may be accompanied by images, but it is the author's responsibility to obtain the copyright for publication. Images should be submitted in jpg or tif format and in high quality resolution.
Referencing should conform to the Colloquy styleguide. For more details, please see Style Guidelines.

Articles should be between 5,000 and 10,000 words. No articles shorter that 3500 are accepted. Longer articles will be considered.

Review articles should be at least 2000 words long. Please provide a title, as well as in the subtitle a full reference to the book(s) reviewed, which includes the ISBN number. For reference to the reviewed book use in-text parentheses without further clarification, e.g. (80). Use endnotes for all other references.

Translations of literary works, poetry, as well as theoretical works in the journal's areas of interest will be considered for publication.
It is the responsibility of the translator to obtain the translation rights.
All translations should be submitted with a copy of the original text translated.
The translation section is produced in conjunction with Translation and Interpreting Studies at Monash University.

Reviews cannot be longer than 1500 words. Please avoid using a title. Instead, the title should be a full reference to the book(s) reviewed, including the ISBN number. For references to the reviewed book use in-text parentheses without further clarification, e.g. (80). Preferably avoid references to other sources, and hence avoid endnotes.

Creative writing or poetry submissions by emerging authors are also accepted.

Electronic submissions should be emailed to:
colloquy@arts.monash.edu.au

Alternatively, submissions in hard copy and a MSWord file on a PC -formatted disk can be sent by post to:
