These should be emailed to (networkmultiplay /at/ gmail.com) with the subject heading ‘The Last of Us’ *The deadline for abstracts is Friday 25th of March 2022*. If your proposal is accepted, you will then be required to write an article of between 6,000 – 7,000 words. We will inform you of the in-house style guide and any additional information upon acceptance.
