The editorial board welcomes contributions. Article submissions are accepted continually, and all authors are encouraged to contribute.

Submissions and inquiries should be sent to the Editors at boyhoodstudies@gmail.com.

Articles should generally be approximately 6,500 words, including notes and references, although longer pieces may be considered. Book reviews should be a maximum of 1,500 words in length. Please consult with the editors about appropriate subjects and lengths for review essays.

Submissions without complete and properly formatted reference lists may be rejected; manuscripts accepted for publication that do not conform to the style guide will be returned to the author for amendment. This is particularly important in relation to in-text citations and reference list details.
