Subject: Call for Reviewers
PMC CALL FOR REVIEWS -- DEADLINE AUGUST 5
------> REPLY TO: p-geyh@nwu.edu
_Postmodern Culture_ is looking for reviews of recent books, films,
CDs, plays, TV shows, concerts, sporting events, performances,
exhibitions, conferences and conventions, happenings, and so forth,
for the September 1998 issue. Reviews should be approximately 2000-3500
words long, and should follow the journal's format guidelines below.
The deadline for submissions is August 5. A selection will be made at
that time. All correspondence will be answered and all submissions
will be given careful consideration.
Send reviews and queries to Paula Geyh, the review editor at
p-geyh@nwu.edu, not to the _PMC_ offices. If e-mailing reviews, make
sure the document is not encoded, and that it has been stripped of all
word-processing codes (i.e, saved as ASCII or DOS text).
Submissions can also be sent on floppy disk to Paula Geyh at the
Department of English, Faner Hall, Southern Illinois University,
Carbondale, IL 62901.
All submissions should follow the format guidelines detailed below.
FORMAT GUIDELINES FOR _PMC_ REVIEWS
You can save us a good deal of work by following these guidelines:
Reviews should generally run between 2000 and 3500 words, or about
8-14 ordinary manuscript pages.
Set margins to half-inch left, two-inch right, and set your font
to Courier 10cpi (or any 10cpi, non-proportional font). This is very
important, as it prevents too many characters on a line.
Put a title at the top of the first page, and under it your name,
institutional affiliation, email address, and mailing address.
Center these lines.
Number all paragraphs of your text with bracketed numbers. These
bracketed numbers should be margin-released into the left-hand
margin (this will place them at the 0" spot on the line).
Indent (to 1") the first line of each pargraph and all lines of set-
off quotations.
Single-space the document throughout.
Use _this_ for underlining titles, *this* for bold print or
emphasis, %this% for foreign words, and ^this^ for superscript.
Footnotes, if any, should follow MLA format.
Page references in the text, if any, should not be preceded by p.,
pp., or any other notation; use just the page number itself.
