Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature

Submissions

Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature welcomes the submission of Articles, Notes, Contributions to Archives, and Queries 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.

Articles

All submissions to Tulsa Studies that meet the criteria detailed herein receive three readings: first two readings by members of the Editorial Board and specialist readers and then one by the Editor. Final decisions for publication rest with the Editor. All submissions must be in English; foreign-language quotations will be printed with accompanying English-language translations provided by the author.

Tulsa Studies requests that an original and three copies of each article-length manuscript be submitted with a self-addressed envelope bearing postage sufficient for the return of one copy of the manuscript ( U. S. postage). Please also send an abstract of no more than 100-200 words. Articles should not exceed twenty-five pages and must conform to the 15th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. Contributors are responsible for providing complete and accurate bibliographical documentation. Standard typeface is required on all texts, including computer-printed manuscripts.

Submissions are given anonymous review. Contributors' names should not appear on manuscripts (but rather on a cover letter); authors may speak in the first person but should not identify themselves by name in the text of the essay or in the accompanying notes.

Address submissions to: Editor, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, The University of Tulsa, 800 South Tucker Drive, Tulsa, OK 74104-3189. Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature at the University of Tulsa holds copyright on all published materials.
