Submissions are welcome on any aspect of life writing. However, one edition of the journal each year will be themed, and a call for papers specifically on this theme will be issued on this website, on the editors' university website (www.lifewriting.humanities.curtin.edu.au), and through the International Auto/Biography Association's Listserve (www.iaba.org.cn). If it is felt that submissions are unlikely to achieve publication within a reasonable timeframe, the editors reserve the right to advise authors that their paper may not be accepted prior to the refereeing process.

Citations should follow MLA style.

Notes should be kept to a minimum. Please use endnotes, rather than footnotes.

All references cited, and only these, should be listed under the heading References.

Submissions of Articles & Reflections should be sent to:
