If you’re submitting submissions for the Contributions, please read our guidelines below.
Guidelines for Submissions
- Word count for contributions is 800-3000 words. If you have a longer piece, please share an accessible link to it (Google Doc or any other kind of accessible format).
- If you refer to particular films, please do so in the following format: ‘Film title’ (director, year of production). If the film is available online or has a website that is known to you, please also provide the link to this website within the brackets.
- If you make references to articles, books etc, please also provide the bibliographical reference for these at the end of the text, in the Harvard citation style. We recommend using the extensive guide produced by Anglia Ruskin University, which offers guidance across a huge range of resources, media, and materials. The guide is available here.
- If you wish to include film-stills from (some of) the films you are making reference to or other pictures, please send these to us as separate attachments and please approximately indicate where media images should come in the text. Please use ‘Figure X’ in your in-text indications, and label your media files to correspond to this. For example: In-text indication: Figure 1 (caption); File name: Surname_Figure 1.jpg. If you are including film-stills, please also always mention the film details in the caption.
