Submissions
The Common Room is currently accepting submissions! Our Fall Issue deadline is October 26. We are an interdisciplinary online magazine publishing textual criticism.
In general, we will require that in your paper you:
- Analyze at least one primary source such as a book, movie, painting, or song.
- Situate your analysis among other scholarship. Cite at least one source outside of your primary text.
- Make connections to contemporary culture and politics. Tell our audience why your interpretation of this primary text matters, or how it can help us understand the current moment.
- Be roughly fifteen pages (~4,500 words) or less. If your paper is longer, you can still submit and we will work with you to edit it down!
- Use MLA or Chicago Author-Date citation style.
Send all submissions in Google Doc or Word format to commonroom-user@knox.edu. Please feel free to contact us at this email address with any questions about submissions!
Submissions for the Fall Issue are now open!
