Cincinnati Romance Review - Guidelines

Who may submit?
Anyone who has presented a paper at the Cincinnati Conference may submit it for possible publication in the Cincinnati Romance Review.

When to submit?
If you wish to submit your article, you should bring it to the registration desk of Cincinnati Conference or submit it to the editors (Jeff Loveland in French or Carlos Gutierrez in Spanish) by September 15 for consideration for the following issue.

What rules to follow?
Articles must be written in compliance with MLA style. The main text as well as block quotes, notes, and bibliographies should be double-spaced. Book and journal titles should be in italics, not underlined. Use endnotes, not footnotes, and place them between the main text and the bibliography. If you are writing in French or Spanish, you may choose to disregard MLA rules regarding the placement of commas and periods relative to quotation marks; in other words, you may (if you wish) place commas and periods outside quotation marks instead of inside them, as long as you do so consistently. Likewise, if you are writing in French or Spanish, you may choose to disregard the MLA rule stipulating that a comma must be placed after the penultimate element of a series of three or more items (e.g., "books, pamphlets, and broadsides") as long as you do so consistently.

How long can the article be?
Papers of up to twenty typed double-spaced pages (including notes and bibliography) will be accepted. Please use Times New Roman, 12-point.

YOUR ARTICLE MUST ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

1 . Please submit your article in a large envelope including the following:

a. Three hard copies of your article. Your name must NOT appear anywhere on your paper.
b. A copy on a diskette or CD in MS Word format. Please verify that this copy matches the paper ones.
c. A cover sheet with your first and last names, the title of the article, your address, your telephone number, your email, your university affiliation, your professional status or title, and a signature.
