Life Writing is one of the leading journals in the field of biography and autobiography. It has the unique and unusual policy of carrying both scholarly articles and critically informed personal narrative. The journal has three sections: Academic Articles, “Reflections” and Reviews. In the Reflections section, we hope to find the reflective/discursive voice leading the minor theme of the autobiographical. However, fiction, ficto-memoir and poetry are not accepted. Our editorial board comprises leaders in the field of life writing practice, such as Paul John Eakin, Sidonie Smith, Lila Abu-Lughod and Ruth Behar.
