>Journal of Screenwriting       Call for Papers 
>Volume 2. 2
>
>
>We invite researchers, educators and 
>practitioners to contribute to Issue 2.2 of the 
>Journal of Screenwriting, a new peer-reviewed 
>journal set up to focus on this important aspect 
>of moving image pre-production and 
>conceptualisation.  Contributions are sought on 
>the history, theory and practice of 
>screenwriting and related topics, covering a 
>wide range of practices from film and television 
>to animation, new media and computer games.
>
>The Journal of Screenwriting brings together 
>research and reflection on pedagogy, 
>professionalism and practice in an area which 
>has been somewhat overlooked in academic 
>discourse.  New work has conventionally been 
>scattered throughout journals devoted to 
>specific aspects of media theory or practice, 
>and this is the first UK academic journal to 
>bring together serious screenwriting-related 
>work under one title.  The Journal is 
>international in scope, and seeks wide-ranging 
>work which is critical, rigorous and original in 
>its contribution to this developing area of 
>study.  We expect to include work which employs 
>a diverse range of methodological approaches, 
>including textual analysis, production analysis, 
>practice as research and historical investigation.
>
>For this issue we would particularly like to 
>include articles that relate to the history of 
>screenwriting, past screenwriting practice and forgotten screenwriters.
