Submission Guidelines and Editorial Policies

Authors should submit their manuscripts (preferably) via email to american.quarterly@usc.edu as attached documents in either Word or Word Perfect formats, or (alternatively) mail three copies to the editor.  Manuscripts are evaluated anonymously, so authors’ names should appear on a separate title page or in correspondence only.  Manuscripts should be in the range of 5,000 – 10,000 words, with a maximum of 10,000 words total, including footnotes, and conform to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition.  Please note:  we do not require that you format your essay in AQ style before it is accepted for publication, but we do require that submissions be of reasonable length.  Essay submissions over 12,000 words will be returned to authors without being read. Further submission instructions can be found by clicking the “Author Info” link on our website, www.americanquarterly.org

     

American Quarterly

Journal 1
Founded in 1949, American Quarterly is the journal of the American Studies Association. American Quarterly represents innovative interdisciplinary scholarship that engages with key issues in American studies.  The journal publishes essays that examine American societies and cultures, past and present, in global and local contexts.  This includes work that contributes to our understanding of the United States in its diversity, its relations with its hemispheric neighbors, and its impact on world politics and culture.  Through the publication of reviews of books, exhibitions, and diverse media, the journal seeks to make available the broad range of emergent approaches to American studies.

American Quarterly is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December.  It is available online to ASA members and through Project Muse and JSTOR.
