Call for Papers

     The William Faulkner Journal of Japan on Internet published by the William Faulkner Society of Japan welcomes contributions in English. We invite contributions from members of the Society and non-members from abroad. Contributors are welcome to submit papers on any Faulkner topic or on the special topic listed for each issue. A member is limited to submitting one article per issue. The special topic for the 8th issue is "Faulkner and Popular Culture." Articles are accepted on the understanding that they have not been previously published and are not currently under review elsewhere. If accepted, all articles in English will be published in The William Faulkner Journal of Japan on Internet, while authors of not-native Japanese speakers are advised that their article, when accepted, will be professionally translated into Japanese for the Japanese, printed edition of the journal. Articles in English should be between 4,000 and 5,000 words including endnotes and a list of works cited. Articles should conform to the conventions outlined in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, Sixth edition (2003) ,.

     Authors should submit one brief curriculum vitae, including mailing address, phone/fax numbers, and e-mail address, if available, and four printed copies of their manuscript. In addition a floppy disk version in MS DOS Text File should be submitted. The disk should indicate the author's name, title of paper, the model of the computer used and the name of the soft-ware used.
