Mon Jun 01 09:12:22 GMT 2009



* * *

The International Association of Literary Journalism Studies (IALJS) is coming to the UK next spring. The fifth annual conference will be held at Roehampton University, May 20 to 22, 2010, hosted by Roehampton's Centre for Research in Creative and Professional Writing, ReWrite.

Literary journalism is defined as "journalism as literature" rather than "journalism about literature". The association warmly welcomes a wide range of topics and disciplinary frameworks, which include explorations of writing practice as well as contextual research.

More information is available at http://literaryjournalismstudies.org.

Together, both the text and the gloss must not exceed 8,000 words in length. The contributor is responsible for obtaining all copyright permissions, including from the publisher, author and translator as necessary.

E-mail submission (as an MS Word attachment) is mandatory, and submissions should be between 4,000 and 8,000 words in length, including notes.. A cover page indicating the title of the paper, the author's name and institutional affiliation, and contact information must accompany all submissions.
