The Looking Glass: New Perspectives on Children's Literature invites submis sions to all columns and sections for a special issue:

New Media Submission deadline: 31 October 2011 Publication date: January/February 2012

Critical, reflective, inquiring, and entertaining articles are welcomed for a special issue on the changing nature of children's and adolescents' "boo ks". This is a growing, turbulent, and dynamic area of children's literatur e and culture, ripe with possibility. From "Choose Your Own Adventure" to "The 39 Clues," this issue will explore the myriad ways in which children's literature and technology intersect, and how that intersection changes the literature, the reader, and maybe even the tech.

Suggested topics and approaches include, but are not limited to: * E-books * Book-film-animation translation * Blogging serials * Fan-sites and fan fiction * Publishing and marketing trends such as * Smart phone apps * LeapFrog® * Multi-platform marketing

The Looking Glass seeks submissions for all sections, with a special emphas is on: Alice's Academy: formal, refereed academic articles Emerging Voices: academic papers from previously unpublished critics and students Jabberwocky: serious pieces, edited but not refereed Curiouser and Curiouser: short and entertaining pieces on any and all fac ets of children's literature.

Please visit our home page: www.the-looking-glass.net. Send submissions to editor_at_the-looking-glass.net and stat e for which column they are intended.
