Author Guidelines

Scope

Post45 Journal aims to publish high quality, field-shaping peer-reviewed scholarship on any aspect of American literature and culture since the mid-twentieth century. The diamond open access and online publication format allows for embedded film clips, audio, images, and other digital objects.

We are especially interested in projects that change our understanding of the field of post-World War II literature and culture, either by drawing attention to understudied subjects or by foregrounding new questions or methods. We emphasize historical and interdisciplinary approaches, and in most cases, we will not prioritize articles on single authors or works if the author is already a subject of extensive scholarship.

Format

Articles (up to 10,000 words including notes) should be submitted as .docx files and formatted according to the Chicago Manual of Style, Notes and Bibliography system (without the bibliography). We do not accept simultaneous submissions or previously published work.

Review Process

Upon submission, the editors will conduct an initial/desk review of the article. If the article is a strong fit for the journal and high quality or highly promising, the editors will send advance the articles to a double anonymous peer review process.

In return for your best work, we offer our best effort to make a decision about your submission at a speed that will be considerably faster than traditional print journals.

Please feel free to contact us at submissions@post45.org with any questions.
