Submission Guidelines
Slayage: The International Journal of Buffy+, an anonymized-refereed, open-access digital journal, solicits submissions. Upon being judged appropriate for review, a submission then goes through anonymized peer review by a minimum of two editorial board members, or two alternate reviewers selected by the editors. The editors, in consultation with the reviewers, decide whether an essay is to be published. Authors should include name and email address at the top of the essay itself, for the convenience of the editors’ record-keeping; the editors will make sure to remove the author’s name and email address before sending the essay to reviewers.
Undergraduate students should submit their essays to Watcher Junior.
The editors welcome proposals (including at least a full paragraph description of the essay and a title) or completed essays of approximately 4,500 to 10,000 words on any aspect of work connected to Buffy. (Accepted essays may be lengthened in revision.) All proposals/essays should exhibit strong familiarity with already published related scholarship (see Whedonology). MLA 2016 documentation is preferred; however, the editors will accept a different documentation style should it be justified by the academic discipline framing the paper.
We welcome all kinds of ideas on any aspect of texts connected with Buffy, including Angel, Firefly/Serenity, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Dollhouse, The Cabin in the Woods, Marvel's The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and more. We are interested in work on all the collaborators for those texts—and those collaborators' other creations.
The submission should be sent electronically as an e-mail attachment in Word (.doc/.docx) or in Rich Text Format (.rtf). Accepted essayists will be provided with a House Style Sheet; authors may also request to be sent the sheet before submission. Send the submission to coeditors Ananya Mukherjea and Rhonda V. Wilcox at [email protected].
