How to submit material to Colloquy
Submission format
Colloquy only accepts submissions electronically in Document (.DOC) format. Manuscripts should be double spaced and set in 12 point Times New Roman. Please include page numbers and do not include anything that would identify the author.
Referencing should conform to the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, using endnotes with full bibliographical details (no list of works cited). Colloquy uses Australian spelling and double quotation marks.
Submission guidelines
- Articles should be between 5000 and 10,000 words. No articles shorter that 3500 are accepted. Longer articles will be considered.
- Review articles should be at least 2000 words long. Please provide a title, as well as in the subtitle a full reference to the book(s) reviewed, which includes the ISBN number. For reference to the reviewed book use in-text parentheses without further clarification, e.g. (80). Use endnotes for all other references.
- Translations of literary works, poetry, as well as theoretical works in the journal's areas of interest will be considered for publication. It is the responsibility of the translator to obtain the translation rights. All translations should be submitted with a copy of the original text translated.
- Reviews cannot be longer than 1500 words. Please avoid using a title. Instead, the title should be a full reference to the book(s) reviewed, including the ISBN number. For references to the reviewed book use in-text parentheses without further clarification, e.g. (80). Preferably avoid references to other sources, and hence avoid endnotes.
- Creative writing or poetry submissions by emerging authors are also accepted.
Visual materials
Submissions may be accompanied by images, but it is the author's responsibility to obtain copyright for publication. Images should be submitted in:
- JPG or TIF format
- print resolution (300 dpi)
