• Submission should present original, previously unpublished materials.
  
• Essays should use the author-date format of the Chicago Manual of Style, 16^th edition.
  
• Manuscripts should be double-spaced, including all notes and the Works Cited. Use a 12-point font and 1" margins all around.
• References to primary or secondary sources should be cited within the main text, e.g. (Dinshaw 32) or “as Dinshaw argues …” (32).
• These references should be keyed to a Works Cited page at the end of the essay. See sample entries below.
  
• Footnotes should be used sparingly.
• Use consistent spelling (either American or British).
• Use consistent single- / double-quotation formats.
• Authors must obtain high quality images (and any relevant permissions) if they wish to use illustrations. We recommend authors take advantage of options that do not require permissions:
  
• Use Creative Commons or similarly licensed content.
• Find works in the public domain.
• Apply Fair Use.
  
• Translate all foreign-language quotations.
• Replace Latin abbreviations with English equivalents.
• Consider if you wish to have your essay evaluated according to a strict, double-blind review process. If so, please anonymize your essay and indicate your decision in your submission e-mail.
