Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature

Submissions

Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature welcomes the submission of Articles, Notes, Contributions to Archives, Queries and Book Reviews on literature in all time periods and places, including foreign-language literatures, and in every genre—poetry, prose, drama, essays, diaries, memoirs, journalism, and criticism. While articles need not be exclusively concerned with female writers, the focus must be on women and writing, explicating the specific links between the woman writer and her work. Tulsa Studies particularly encourages work in feminist critical and literary theory.

Articles that introduce the work of unknown or lesser-known women writers or that provide new interpretations of works by well-known women writers must place the writer and her work in some larger literary, historical, political, or social framework and argue a thesis that encompasses more than a reading of a single text or several texts by a single author.

Mailed Submissions should be addressed to Editor, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, The University of Tulsa, 800 Tucker Drive, Tulsa, OK 74104-3189. Tulsa Studies requests that an original and three copies of the manuscript by submitted with a self-addressed envelope bearing postage sufficient for the return of one copy of the manuscript (U.S. postage).

Electronic Submissions will be accepted as a Microsoft Word attachment (1997-2003 compatible). Send files to tswl@utulsa.edu with a subject line "manuscript submission." Cover letters should be sent as a seperate attachment.

Final decisions for publication rest witht he Editor. Submissions are given anonymous reviews. Contributors' names should not appear on manuscripts but rather on a cover letter. Authors may speak ain the first person but should not identify themselves by name in the text of the essay or in the accompanying notes.

Articles should not exceed twenty-five pages and must conform to the 15th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style.
