Guidelines for Prospective Contributors:
The HERESIES collective wishes to solicit material for future issues. Themes and deadlines for these issues will be announced well in advance. Manuscripts (1,000-5,000 words) should be typewritten, double spaced on 8½ x 11“ paper, and submitted in duplicate. We welcome for consideration either outlines or description of articles, or finished manuscripts with bibliographic foot notes (if necessary) at the end of the paper in numerical order. Writers should feel free to inquire about the possibility of an article. If you are submitting visual material, please send a photograph, xerox, or description ( please do not send the original). All manuscripts and visional material must be accompanied by a stamped self-addressed envelope. HERESIES will pay a fee of $5-$50, as our budget allows, for published material, and it is our hope to offer higher fees in the future. There will be no commissioned articles and we cannot guarantee acceptance of submitted material. We will not include reviews or monographs on contemporary women.
