SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Neo-Victorian Studies is published electronically 2-3 times a year and accepts submissions of scholarly and/or creative pieces throughout the year. In the case of critical/theoretical pieces, these should be preceded by an abstract of up to 150 words and a list of up to 10 keywords in alphabetical order. Contributions should generally be between 6000 and 8000 words in length (excluding abstract, keywords, and bibliography), though longer or shorter pieces of particular significance may be considered at the editors’ discretion.

Please submit two electronic copies of your work. One should include your name and affiliation following the title, e.g.:

Neo-Victorian Fantasies in Recent Art and Literature

Joe Bloggs, Swansea University

and a brief biographical note (no more than 2-3 sentences) after the bibliography or at the end of the piece. The other copy should have no name, affiliation, or other identifying information, so as to facilitate anonymous peer review. If your contribution is accepted for publication, you may choose to have an email link included for respondents to contact you.

Please confirm in your covering email that your work has not been published previously and has not been simultaneously submitted elsewhere for possible publication. (Or, if previously published, explain why you believe the work merits republication in Neo-Victorian Studies.)

Submissions should be made by email with Word Document attachments, with page numbers centred at the bottom of the page. Use double quotation marks and bracketed references after quotations, citing author, date, and page (e.g. Smith 1990:35). For additional explanatory notes use automatic footnotes, indicated via superscript numerals (1-2-3 format) in the body of the text, placed immediately after the end of a clause or sentence (i.e. following a comma or full stop). Long quotations over three lines in length should be indented from both margins without quotation marks and set apart from the main body of the text via a blank line above and below. Please include a full bibliography, citing all reference materials employed. Examples:
