For more information, please see http://www.the-looking-glass.net/contribute.html.
The Looking Glass also invites scholarly submissions for the following special topic to be highlighted in Alice's Academy, its scholarly refereed section:
Shadow Sides
Submission deadline: 1 September 2007
Publication date: January 2008
Articles are welcome on the idea of shadows in children's literature. >From dark themes and shadow selves, unhappy endings or series that focus on death and despair in children's texts, to the dark sides of publishing and bookselling, the dark reality of illiteracy or the inaccessibility of books to children, this special issue of Alice's Academy will explore the seamy underbelly of the world of children's literature. Deadline for submission on this special topic is 1 September 2007. For submission guidelines, and additional calls for submissions, please see the reverse.
Additionally, The Looking Glass invites submissions to all columns and sections for a special issue:
Censorship
Submission deadline: 1 October 2007
Publication date: April 2008
Critical, informative, and inquiring articles are welcome on the broad and provocative topic of censorship. Censorship and children's reading historically go hand-in-hand, so we at TLG are particularly interested in exploring censorship as an international phenomenon that particularly affects children and their reading. As well-meaning adults seek to "protect" young readers from difficult, unsavory, or somehow inappropriate language or material, we may ask, is the role of children's literature to educate young boys and girls about the world in which they live, including its unpleasant aspects? Or, is it the responsibility of such texts to shield children from these elements? In what ways do we define or understand the idea of censorship? How do attitudes toward and practices of censorship vary around the world? How do we respond to the practice of censorship? Is censorship ever appropriate? If so, how, and when? The Looking Glass seeks contributions from many perspectives and areas of interest-publi c, school, and academic libraries; public schools; university classrooms (students and professors on training teachers and scholars); authors (self-censorship as well as publisher or public censorship or challenge); publishers; citizens.
