CALL FOR PAPERS
The Concord Saunterer: A Journal of Thoreau Studies seeks biographical, historical, textual, bibliographical, and interpretive articles relating to Henry David Thoreau, his legacy, his associates, the Concord circle of authors, and Transcendentalism more generally. Submissions of all lengths are invited; however, a range of 8,000-10,000 words, including notes and works cited, is preferred. In some cases, shorter pieces will be recommended for submission to the quarterly Thoreau Society Bulletin (TSB) instead.
Contributions should conform to MLA documentation style. We also publish creative non-fiction, poetry, photography, and art with a focus on the natural world. Please send submissions via e-mail as an attachment (MS Word preferred; house style sheet available upon request.) to cs@thoreausociety.org. We are a peer-reviewed journal; we strive to report decisions within three months.
Subscription is by membership in the Society. The Concord Saunterer: A Journal of Thoreau Studies is a member of JSTOR and of CELJ (the Council of Editors of Learned Journals); it is referenced in American Literary Scholarship, American Humanities Index, and the MLA Bibliography.
