FEMSPEC, an interdisciplinary feminist journal dedicated to critical,
pedagogical and creative works in the realms of SF, fantasy, magical
realism, and other supernatural genres is soliciting material for upcoming
issues.
DEADLINES:
September 20, 1999
APril 10, 2000
These deadlines will be permanent deadlines for in-house issues in the future.
Special theme issues have different deadlines (set by editors). Please see
the list below for further information.
The FEMSPEC office is not staffed during the summer.
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
If you are interested in speculating, theorizing, creating and questioning
gender across the boundaries of what is real and what is not real, consider
submitting your work to FEMSPEC. We are interested in interdisciplinary
approaches, and encourage work on teaching as well as literary and cultural
criticism and creative material. We hope an approach to pedagogy will bring
in work from a wider area of disciplines. We are interested in a variety of
feminist approaches, and aim to be inclusive of ethnic and cultural
diversity in an internationalist perspective.
We invite work between genres as well: coverage of conferences, personal
essays, non-fiction, media critiques, analysis of popular culture,
transcripts of dialogues on relevant topics, interviews with authors, art,
photography, work by or about girls of any age.
FORMAT FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Please send FOUR hard copies of your submission by regular mail. Your name
and address should be included only on your cover letter; the work itself
should have only the title. If you wish the hard copies returned, please
include an SASE with postage. Fewer copies submitted will mean that the
reading/review process will take longer.
Articles (15 pages, MLA style) or abstracts (250-500 words) will be
considered.
Creative writing is accepted: short fiction, 15 pages or less; poetry, 3
poems per submission.
Reviews (art, books, television shows, movies, animations, conferences,
conventions)of 1000 words or less also welcome.
