TEXT includes refereed research articles on creative and professional
writing and processes, and the teaching of writing, refereed creative
work, book reviews, letters and notices. TEXT occasionally publishes
specific-topic collections or longer works in its Special Issue Series.
Regarding creative work, 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. Optionally, creative contributions
may be accompanied by a 250-word research statement in the ERA format.
All submissions are electronic and should be sent via email attachments
to text@griffith.edu.au
TEXT accepts material throughout the year.
Policy on re-refereeing and re-publishing
Please note: a paper previously published in conference proceedings
or elsewhere must be significantly developed for refereeing for TEXT.
We do not send to referees papers to which the response will be: "Well,
this article has already been published". We imagine that a published
conference paper of around 3,500 words would increase in size to something
like 7,000 words in being significantly developed…or would become another
paper entirely.
Policy on copyright
TEXT claims only first publication rights, and copyright of all work
published in TEXT remains with the authors. Submissions must be the
sole work of the author(s) and not involve third parties with a claim
to copyright. Permission to reproduce photographs and illustrations
is the responsibility of the author(s).
For republication
of articles in TEXT, contact the author direct and acknowledge TEXT.
