Calls for papers are open to any undergraduate student, currently
enrolled at an institution of higher learning worldwide and working
towards a bachelor's degree in any field. Recent graduates are also
eligible, providing they submit to a call the deadline for which occurs
within six months from their graduation date. Any original piece of
written scholarship related to the theme of "women in cinema" and
involving film criticism, history, or theory will be considered for
publication. By submitting a paper for this themed call, authors are
certifying that: (1) they are undergraduate students, currently enrolled
at an institution of higher learning and working towards a bachelor's
degree (or they are recent graduates of six months or less from the date
of the call deadline); and (2) their submitted essays are original
pieces of written scholarship, authored solely by them, and have not
been published in any form, in any publication, heretofore.
Submissions should be written in English and range from 2500 to 4000
words in length, with 3000 words being the ideal target. They should be
scholarly in nature, with references to research formatted according to
MLA guidelines (7^th edition). Furthermore, they should make a
well-supported argument and not simply report. Please limit your
submissions to one per author, per call.
After a prescreening, submissions will undergo a blind peer review
process, typical of scholarly journals. Referee comments will be
returned to those authors who progress beyond the prescreening;
unfortunately, due to the high number of submissions, the editorial
board is unable to provide comments to those papers that do not make it
past this point. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to work
closely with the FM editorial board to revise their pieces prior to
publication. Please include a cover sheet, which includes the author's
name, title of essay, institutional affiliation, and contact
information; all other identifying information should be removed from
the body of the text, in order to aid the blind peer review process.
Please email submissions as Microsoft Word email attachments to Liza

Submissions should be received by February 1, 2010. Questions should be
referred to Liza Palmer.
