Submission Info
Broadly Textual is a blog where writers engage the public in analysis of literature, media, education, and culture. Previous topics have ranged from film studies and Shakespeare to fanfic and Reddit culture. We invite submissions of about 1000 words which address the following:
- readings and/or reviews of historical and literary texts (broadly defined) for a non-academic audience
- interviews with scholars practicing inside and outside the academy
- creative nonfiction or reflections on creative work
- engagement with contemporary political, social, and cultural issues through the lens of literary studies
- explorations on crossing the boundaries between the “academy” and the “public”
Works can be entirely new ones or can be adaptations of work previously completed for classes or outside research projects. We compensate writers $75 per post and aim to publish between 4 and 6 times per semester. We provide free editing services on your pieces, so this can be good workshopping practice, as well as a first publication for your CV.
Please email submissions to one of the editors:
