Advice to contributors
We are honored by your interest and look forward to considering your work for publication. The following guidelines should be useful in preparing your submission.


Preparation and style
 

  • Submissions should be made in duplicate and prepared according to prevailing academic standards. The contributor’s name should appear only on a separate title sheet.
  • Conform to the Chicago Manual of Style or the MLA Style Sheet in preparing your typescript
  • Editors prefer endnote citation
    rather than the new "works cited" style. Double-spacing, including endnotes, is mandatory
  • Essays reproduced on a faint
    dot-matrix printer, or on extremely thin paper, may be returned
  • European contributors should leave
    ample margins at the bottom of their pages as it is often necessary to crop these to fit American copying machines.

Multiple submissions  

  • Editors assume that your essay
    is not being simultaneously considered for publication in other journals. As a journal of record, New Hibernia Review must offer its readers new scholarship only
  • We cannot reprint work
    that has appeared, in whole or in substantial part, elsewhere.

Decision cycle  

  • Submissions are promptly recorded
    and forwarded to the editors of New Hibernia Review, but decisions regarding an essay may take six months or longer
  • Please refrain from inquiring
    about the status of a typescript until six months have passed. An essay will usually appear within one year of acceptance
  • Notify the editors by certified mail
    i
    f you wish to withdraw your essay from consideration

Submissions on diskette 
On acceptance, you will be asked to provide your article on a diskette. You may send either a Macintosh or an IBM diskette, but label it with the file name and the program in which it is written.

Editorial practice
 
Contributors should expect that their essays will be judiciously copyedited so as to give each issue a harmony of usage and mechanics. The editors will usually prefer American usage and conventions to British and Irish forms. Authors should refrain from beginning essays with an epigraph or a block quotation.

Illustrations
 
We welcome essays that include photographs or art reproductions. The use of illustrations will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Contributors need to provide evidence that the necessary permissions have been obtained.

Author’s galleys
 
Unproofed author’s galleys will be sent to you approximately six weeks before publication. You should give these prompt attention and provide the editors with corrections. Extensive revision will not be possible at that stage, however.

Complimentary copies
 
In lieu of offprints, you will be provided six copies of the issue of New Hibernia Review in which your article appears.

Copyright and reprints
 
New Hibernia Review will be copyrighted by its publishers. The editors will routinely grant gratis permission to reproduce our pages for classroom or other noncommercial uses. Publishers wishing to reprint material from New Hibernia Review will be given your most recent address from our files and advised that it is their responsibility to notify the author to obtain the necessary permissions. Conversely, the editors would be grateful if you would extend the courtesy notifying us of subsequent reprints, inclusion in anthologies, and other uses of work that originally appeared in New Hibernia Review.
