Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration.
  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word, RTF, or PDF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is double-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are referenced in text, and appended as a separate file.
  • The text adheres to MLA style.
  • The instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.

Author Guidelines

Manuscripts should follow the format outlined in the MLA Handbook. All text must be double-spaced in a clear, easy-to-read 12-point typeface. Text should be left justified with one-inch margins. Manuscripts are not to exceed (25) twenty-five double-spaced pages, including endnotes and Works cited pages. Illustrations or other images (graphs, charts) should be counted as occupying half a page of text. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, as attachments to: lionunicorn@ksu.edu. Please make sure that personal identification does not appear on the manuscript itself. Send a second attachment with your name, address, telephone number and email address. Illustrations can be sent as .jpgs at this stage. Manuscripts should be original and not previously published.

Acknowledgement of receipt of your manuscript will be sent by email. Then your manuscript will be sent anonymously for review. You will be notified of the results and a copy of the comments will be sent to you.

If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the author(s) must submit an electronic copy in Word. Illustrations must be sent as .tif files at 300dpi—on a CD if necessary. Authors are also required to submit a 100 word abstract and a brief biographical note.

Permissions for copyrighted materials. The author must secure any necessary permissions for copyrighted material for print and electronic reproduction. Permission fees are the responsibility of the author.
