Animation Journal is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to all aspects of animation history and theory.  Founded in 1991, the Journal is now in its seventh year of publication.  It is distributed to subscribers around the world, including most of the leading media archives and university animation programs.  For more information, please visit the Animation Journal web site at http://www.chapman.edu/animation.

Deadlines for Animation Journal submissions are the same each year: January 15 for the fall issue and July 1 for the spring issue. Manuscripts should be double-spaced and follow the Chicago style manual. Papers are blind refereed, so the author’s name should not appear on the body of the manuscript but only on an attached cover sheet. Papers will not be returned unless postage is provided. Send TWO copies or one hard (paper) copy and a copy on a computer disk (preferably, Macintosh-compatible and in a Microsoft Word file).

Because the Editor receives many papers that deal with American classical animated features (mostly Disney features), she encourages work in other areas. Editorials, reviews, discussions of works-in-progress and other non-refereed submissions are also welcome. Of particular interest are graphic essays (drawn panels with commentary), as well as primary documents of historical significance that could be published with an introduction. The Editor is happy to respond to proposals and general queries, as well as writing at any stage of completion. It should be noted that contributors to Animation Journal are not paid for their work, though they do receive free and discounted copies of the issue in which their writing appears. They also retain the copyright to their work, after first-time publication by Animation Journal.
