Submission

Submissions are accepted throughout the year. The refereeing process can take up to 4 months and every effort is made to publish the successful submissions in the following editon of TEXT. However, it is not uncommon to carry papers over to a later edition.

For information please contact the editors at text@griffith.edu.au

Book reviews are not normally refereed, however a substantial article built around several books may qualify for refereeing. For information regarding book reviews contact the reviews editor Dr Patrick West patrick.west@griffith.edu.au

TEXT welcomes submission of research articles on creative and professional writing and processes, and the teaching of writing, creative work, book reviews, letters and notices. TEXT occasionally publishes specific-topic collections or longer works in its Special Issue Series.

Also, creative work in TEXT is refereed. TEXT considers contributions of stories, poetry, memoir, etc providing that the matter of the creative work concerns exploration of creativity, or the nature and processes of writing, or the nature and processes of the teaching of writing, or investigation of writers' issues, lifestyles, or such like.

All submissions are electronic and should be sent via email attachments to text@griffith.edu.au

 

How to send in a submission

All electronic process
TEXT is an electronic journal.
Email a contribution as an attachment to: text@griffith.edu.au
TEXT can accommodate hypertext, images and most facilities available on the web.

Submit in 'Word'
We prefer to do our own coding and request that submissions be sent as a simple 'Word' document in either Mac or IBM platforms.

Footnotes No, Simple endnotes Yes
TEXT does not use footnotes. Instead we run a list of linked notes at the end of the piece. Submissions utilising numbered notes or appendices should have them listed at the end with, of course, clear indication in the body of the text showing where they'll be linked to. Please don't use the computerised footnote or endnote devices available on most 'Word' systems.

Referencing
For referencing, TEXT strongly prefers the MLA system (which the editors adapt to on-line publication). However, any referencing system consistently applied is accepted. For useful information regarding on-line style, see Janice R. Walker and Todd Tayler, The Columbia Guide to Online Style (NY: Columbia UP, 1998).

Biographical Note
Please always include a biographical note with your submission, and if appropriate an indication of your affiliated tertiary institution.
