Womanist Theory and Research seeks previously unpublished manuscripts which engage, elaborate, and advance womanist/feminist-of-color theory or research from any discipline or combination of disciplines. Submissions from writers of all genders and backgrounds are encouraged. Manuscripts (20 - 30 pp. preferred) should be typed, double-spaced, and prepared in an editorial style consistent with the requirements of the author's home discipline (MLA, bibliographical material should appear at the end. With the manuscript, authors should include a brief, 2-3 sentence biographical statement. Enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope for return of your correspondence. Upon acceptance of the manuscript, authors should submit both a final hard copy and a disk copy in Wordperfect, Microsoft Word, Windows Write, or other IBM-compatible word processing software. Although manuscripts of any length will be accepted, final length of published manuscripts will be approved at the discretion of the Co-Editors and will be determined through the editorial process.
Art Work & Photography:
Womanist Theory and Research seeks original art work and photography which incorporate womanist/ feminist-of-color content or themes and can be reproduced in a duo-tone format. Artists should submit slides or camera-ready reproductions in the case of non-photographic work and reproducible photographic prints in the case of photography. Artists should include brief statements about their work and its womanist/ feminist-of-color content as well as 2-3 sentences of biographical information.
WTR particularly seeks bold, engaging photographs which capture the spirit of womanism for its cover; interested photographers should refer to previous covers of The Womanist or WTR.
