Call for Submissions

LMDA’s journal Review is currently accepting submissions for the 2025 issue.

The mission of the journal is to provide a venue for the exploration of dramaturgy, and for ongoing conversation about the work of the dramaturg and the literary manager and their relationship to all aspects of theatre-making. Review welcomes submissions by all writers regardless of professional affiliation, as well as submissions on topics at some remove from the primary mission.

Review is an annual publication. This year’s deadline for paper submissions is October 4, 2024.

To submit an article for peer review, please email the following as two separate documents:

• The full paper submission, double-spaced 4,000-5,000 words as a MS Word file (No PDFs please!), formatted according to Chicago (17 th Ed.) style guidelines. Articles can contain footnotes and should include a Bibliography. To ensure a fair blind-review process, the author’s name should be omitted from this document.
• A title page that includes the author’s name, email address, telephone, and institutional affiliation (if applicable), as well as a brief biography.

Book Review Inquiries:

• Review’s 2025 issue will include book reviews of publications from academic presses. If you’re a published author and have a recent book publication in a related field you’d like to have reviewed, please contact the editors. And if you would like to review a book for Review, with a book in mind or not, please also reach out to the editors. The length requirement for book reviews is 800 to 1,000 words in length.

Please send submissions to publications@lmda.org. Review acknowledges receipt of submission via email within 1 to 2 weeks and the response time for the peer review process is typically 3 months from the submission deadline.
