Instructions to Authors
Writer's Guidelines
We accept manuscripts from a variety of disciplines, as long as the work focuses on the Appalachian region. Major fields of interest include history, anthropology, folklore, literature, geography, economics, politics, education, ecology, and sociology. We like well-documented, well-developed articles that feature primary source research. We like photos or illustrations. The documentation style we use mostly follows Modern Language Association style, though we veer from it occasionally. We tend not to accept a 10-page conference paper, but much prefer the "long version" that allows a scholar to flesh out ideas. We are a peer-reviewed journal, so your work will be sent out to scholars for recommendations about acceptance, revisions, etc. Although the Appalachian Journal seeks genuine contributions toward a scholarly understanding of the Appalachian region, the Journal will consider articles from non-scholarly sources if the material is fresh and informative.
We also publish poetry, and we are interested in photographs, photographic essays, and/or images of artwork accompanied by an artist's statement about work's relevance to the Appalachian region.
As for form, we appreciate the writer who
1. sends his or her work on a disk (preferably in WordPerfect or Word) 2. includes 3 hard copies that do not contain the writer's name 3. uses Modern Language Association documentation style, or the style appropriate to the discipline (Chicago, APA, etc.) 4. includes a separate title page with the writer's return address, e-mail address, and a brief biographical note.
For POETRY submissions, we appreciate receiving a "batch" of several (5-7) poems (one copy of each) and a short letter that includes a brief biographical note. We want only unpublished poems for consideration and do not want simultaneous submissions. Please include a SASE or an e-mail address to make it easy for us to acknowledge that we have received your work and have it under consideration.
