Guidelines for Writers |
The
CEA
Critic is the scholarly journal of the College
English Association, a national organization for teachers of college English.
The
CEA Critic publishes scholarly articles that read closely the texts—fiction,
poetry, drama, nonfiction, and film—that English professors study and teach.
The CEA Critic celebrates the importance of literary criticism from a variety
of approaches and the value of reading about familiar and unfamiliar
literary works.
You may download a pdf version of the submission and review guidelines, or see the guidelines below.
The CEA Forum Online—the newsletter of the College English Association—publishes short articles (generally 2,000 or fewer words) that respond to classroom practice or to opinions about the profession. In addition, The CEA Forum disseminates news about the organization and its regional affiliates along with other news of professional and academic interest to the association’s membership. The CEA Forum is now published twice annually as an online publication. Only submissions by CEA members will be published. See the submission address below. Archived issues of the online Forum from 1998-2003 are available at <http://www.as.ysu.edu/%7Eenglish/cea/forum1.htm>.

Because our journal aims to publish stimulating literary criticism, reviewers will judge how compelling, coherent, scholarly, original, and important the submitted essays are.
The editor will recycle rejected submissions. The College English Association
holds the copyright to all articles published in The CEA Critic.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all persons in each photograph have given permission for the photograph to be published. If a manuscript with photographs is accepted for publication, you must submit the signed consent of each person in the photographs. Please include the name of the photographer (if other than yourself) or the source of the photograph so that the editors may give proper credit.
Illustrations should be camera-ready—either computer-generated or drawn on stiff paper with black, non-smudging ink. If text within an illustration requires editing, you must redo the illustration to accommodate those changes. You must also submit the written permission of students whose work is included in manuscripts and of the copyright holder when the article contains copyrighted artwork and/or more than brief excerpts of published material.
