Instructions to Authors The French Review endorses the MLA Style Manual (1998) and its student-oriented version the MLA Handbook, fifth edition (1999). We expect all authors to follow the directions of these manuals; we also wish to emphasize the following points:
- All articles are to be submitted to the Editor in Chief. The normal maximum for articles, including endnotes, is 5,000 words; the minimum, 2500 words. The limit for submissions to "In Your Corner: Focus on the Classroom" is 2500 words. For "Professional Issues" it is also 2500 words. AATF membership is a prerequisite for the submission of articles. All articles must be accompanied by an Abstract of 100 words, maximum, in the same language as the manuscript's. Book review maximum: 650 words.
- The French Review subscribes to a policy of "blind" submissions: Assistant Editors will not know the identity of the authors whose articles they are asked to evaluate. Authors must therefore omit references that would allow them to be identified. Typescripts are to be prefaced by a separate cover page giving the title of the article, the author's name, address, institution, telephone number, and, if possible, e-mail address. Please send with the article the equivalent of twenty first-class US postage stamps or a check for $8.20 made out to "FRENCH REVIEW."
- Contributions may be in English or French, but contributors are very earnestly urged to use the language in which they can write more effectively. For articles in French, see below.
- All contributions must be typed on standard-size paper with double-spacing throughout, including Works Cited, endnotes (see under 7, below), block quotations of prose or verse, and headings of book reviews (see under 8, below). Please send three high quality copies; these will not be returned. If the article is accepted, the Editor will request the original typescript and a diskette, if the text has been wordprocessed.
- Perfect legibility is essential, especially with articles or quotes in French. The typesetter is not expected to know foreign languages and usually cannot decipher foreign words written in by hand; if type is not clean she may not be able to distinguish "c" from "e" or "o." Type or print all corrections legibly above the line involved. Never write anything in the margins.
- For spelling, hyphenation, determination of foreign words, etc., consult Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language.
Underline the titles of books, plays, and periodicals. In titles of French periodicals the first word and all principal words are capitalized (La Revue des Deux Mondes). In titles of French books and plays, the first word is always capitalized; if a substantive immediately follows an initial article, it is also capitalized; if the substantive is preceded by an adjective both are capitalized; if the title begins with any word other than an article or adjective, the words following are all in lower case: La Semaine sainte; Les Belles Amours; A la recherche du temps perdu (MLA Handbook, section 2.8.1; Style Manual, 3.7.2).
- The Works Cited section contains all the works that you will cite in your text. The list simplifies documentation by permitting you to make only brief references to these works in the text. (Style Manual 6.3). "Usually the author's last name and a page reference are enough to identify the source and specific location from which you have borrowed material" (MLA Handbook 5.1).
Since purely bibliographical information will now be handled by references in the text to the Works Cited, endnotes will be reserved for explanatory material or for a listing of bibliographical sources too long to be conveniently inserted in the text (MLA Handbook B.1.). When used, endnotes are numbered consecutively, not by the page, but throughout the entire article. Reference numbers are typed above the line and outside punctuation marks, exactly as they are to appear in print. The Notes themselves should be paragraphed and typed with double spacing, on separate sheets following the last page of the article. The Works Cited will follow the Notes, on separate sheets.
An author may occasionally wish to acknowledge special assistance, in the formulation of the article, to a collaborator, an institution, an editor. This should be done sparingly and always as a final endnote to the article.
- Contributors to special departments, especially reviewers of books and films, should study our typographical arrangements carefully. When writing a review, the following data must always be furnished: author's names (last name first), title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, ISBN number, number of pages in the case of a book, size and rpms or ips in the case of discs or tapes, and price (in the currency of the country of publication). Authors of interviews should use "Q:" and "R:" to indicate questions and answers. They should also provide an introduction to the author and a list of "Works Cited."
- Exceptions to the MLA Handbook: articles written in French should be prepared in accordance with certain French typographical norms. For instance, endnote numbers and closing quotation marks precede punctuation, and ellipses are indicated by three periods in square brackets without spaces between the periods [...]. An illustration of these rules: De bruuves proses que j'en suis venuenacrire [...] ressemblent aussa des reves. On the other hand, French Review style differs from French typographical practice by not inserting a space between a word and a subsequent semicolon, colon, question mark, or exclamation mark. In addition, English quotation marks are used, and not French guillemets.
- Authors should never practice multiple submissions, that is, sending the same article to more than one journal at the same time. The French Review has an enviable record of furnishing a prompt answer on submissions. If, after devoting considerable time to a manuscript, the French Review's editors and consultants learn that it has been accepted elsewhere (or, for that matter, that the author is guilty of plagiarism), we will not entertain a submission from that person again.
- We publish, with extremely rare and noteworthy exception, only material that has not appeared elsewhere (either in the original or in translation). As an extension of this rule, we do not publish book reviews of translated works.
- SUBMISSIONS: articles are to be sent to the Editor, and reviews to the appropriate Review Editor. (See List of Editors.)
