PMC CALL FOR REVIEWS -- DEADLINE 15 November
------> REPLY TO: pgeyh@siu.edu
_Postmodern Culture_ is looking for reviews of recent books, films, CDs,
plays, TV shows, concerts, sporting events, performances, exhibitions,
conferences and conventions, happenings, and so forth, for the January 2000
issue. Reviews should be approximately 2000-3500 words long, and
should follow the journal's format guidelines below. Reviews should be
submitted by 15 November.
A selection will be made at that time. All correspondence will be answered
and all submissions will be given careful consideration.
Send reviews, proposals, or queries to Paula Geyh at: pgeyh@siu.edu
Macintosh-compatible diskettes containing ASCII or Word 6 (or below), or
IBM-compatible diskettes containing ASCII, Word 6 (or below) or WordPerfect
files may be mailed to Professor Paula Geyh, Faner Hall, Department of
English, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL 62901.
Here are the format guidelines:
FORMAT GUIDELINES FOR _PMC_ REVIEWS
You can save us a good deal of work by following these guidelines:
Reviews should generally run between 2000 and 3500 words, or about
8-14 ordinary manuscript pages.
Set margins to half-inch left, two-inch right, and set your font
to Courier 10cpi (or any 10cpi, non-proportional font). This is very
important, as it prevents too many characters on a line.
Put a title at the top of the first page, and under it your name,
institutional affiliation, email address, and mailing address.
Center these lines.
Number all paragraphs of your text with bracketed numbers. These
bracketed numbers should be margin-released into the left-hand
margin (this will place them at the 0" spot on the line).
Indent (to 1") the first line of each pargraph and all lines of set-
off quotations. All quotations require page references.
Single-space the document throughout.
Use _this_ for underlining titles, *this* for bold print or
emphasis, %this% for foreign words, and ^this^ for superscript.
Endnotes, if any, should follow MLA format. Surround the endnote number
with carets (e.g., ^1^, ^2^, etc.) in text and before the note at the end
of the document. (The notes should be created as part of the main text--do
not use your endnoting function because it will not translate into our
formatting.)
Page references in the text, if any, should not be preceded by p.,
pp., or any other notation; use just the page number itself.
Send your submission to the review editor, not to the _PMC_ offices.
Either email or diskette is acceptable; hardcopy is not. If emailing,
make sure the document is not encoded, and that it has been stripped of
all word-processing codes (i.e, saved as ASCII or DOS text). If sending
on a diskette, make sure diskette is MAC- compatible, with files in ASCII
or Word 6, or IBM-compatible in ASCII, Word 6 or WordPerfect (if in doubt,
send as ASCII text).
