THRESHOLDS

Guidelines for Articles

We welcome submissions to the following departments: Exercises, Author Profiles, Debates, and We Recommend.  We are also interested in one-off, occasional, and regular blog posts up to 1,500 words on a wide range of short story-based topics, including explorations into the creative process, and the writer’s own experience of writing or reading short stories.

Please note: at this time, we do not accept unsolicited short story submissions.

In addition:

- manuscripts should be double-spaced and left-hand justified;

- paragraphs should not be indented;

- titles of books and journals should be italicised;

- titles of short stories should be enclosed in single quotation marks;

- short extracts of a cited work should be enclosed in single quotation marks;

- extracts longer than three sentences should be single spaced and fully indented to set them apart from the rest of the text;

- dialogue which falls within an extract should be enclosed by double quotation marks;

- citations should be embedded in the text, not in footnotes, and use Harvard Referencing;

- all submissions should be emailed as an attachment to thresholds@chi.ac.uk, with the word ‘submission’ in the subject line.
