The Emily Dickinson Journal

The Emily Dickinson Journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of Dickinson and her work. Most manuscripts accepted for publication by the Journal are standard essay-length, twenty to thirty pages. We do not publish unsolicited poetry or reviews.

Manuscripts should be prepared according to current MLA style, with bibliographic information cited by textual or parenthetical reference to a complete list of Works Cited. The one exception is reference to standard editions of Emily Dickinson’s poems and letters. For examples of how to format such references, please refer to the essays in previous issues. Send electronic submissions to the Journal’s online system, ScholarOne, at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/edj. To submit, visit the website and create an account. Once you have access to your account, you will upload your paper directly to the website.

Please note:

• At this time, ScholarOne cannot upload Word 2007 documents. Please save your manuscript as a Word 1997–2003 document before submitting.
• Make sure to remove any identifying information (name, university, etc.) from the manuscript itself, as EDJ reviews are double blind.
• Supply a required summary of 150 or fewer words with your paper; should your essay be accepted, you will have an opportunity to revise your abstract before publication.
• Provide keywords for indexing purposes.

"The Emily Dickinson Journal is the major scholarly forum for the best informed and most progressive thinking about Emily Dickinson's poetry. But it is also an important site for advanced discussions about the nexus between writing and theory; literature, politics, history and society; as well as pedagogical methods, textual issues and computer technologies. Practical, diverse, and hugely impressive, the Journal is useful for specialists, teachers, students and others looking to familiarise themselves with the latest developments in Dickinson criticism in particular and cultural enterprise generally."

-Domhnall Mitchell
Associate Professor of Nineteenth-Century Literature, Norweigan University of Science and Technology

"When it comes to up-to-date information of Dickinson scholarship, the EDJ is a blessing for us."

-Masako Takeda
Professor of American Literature, Osaka Shoin Women's College, Japan

"In the years before the EDJ, one had to search in a myriad of sources in order to find what the EDJ now provides. Any college or university that regularly teaches Emily Dickinson (and all should) ought to include The Emily Dickinson Journal in its holdings. Through one publication, students are able to develop their thinking not only about this great American poet but about the critical approaches that one can bring to the poetry--and all this in a format that is easy to read and use."

-Beth Maclay Doriani, Ph.D
Academic Dean, Malone College
