We're between calls. Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when the next reading period rises.

  • Simultaneous submissions are fine. Pull yours if it lands elsewhere first.
  • Shunn Manuscript Format, sent as a DOCX.
  • Payment varies by window. Each call lists the rate up top.
  • Response time is usually 1 to 2 weeks from when the window closes.
