Submissions should be informed with an awareness of the existing scholarship and should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words in length, including notes. To encourage international dialogue, the journal is open to publishing on occasion short examples or excerpts of previously published literary journalism accompanied by a scholarly gloss about or an interview with the writer who is not widely known outside his or her country. The example or excerpt must be translated into English. The scholarly gloss or interview should generally be between 1,500 and 2,500 words long and indicate why the example is important in the context of its national culture. Together, both the text and the gloss generally should not exceed 8,000 words in length. The contributor is responsible for obtaining all copyright permissions, including from the publisher, author, and translator, as necessary. The journal is also willing to consider publication of exclusive excerpts of narrative literary journalism accepted for publication by major publishers.

For this occasion, I am delighted to hand over the editorial reins to two of my earliest and dearest colleagues in the International Association for Literary Journal- ism Studies, Isabel Soares and Alice Trindade, both of whom toil mightily at Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal. Way back in 2006, at the initial conference, before there was an IALJS proper, the presence of Alice and Isabel went a long way to helping us realize that we could, and should, extend literary journalism’s geography beyond the usual U.S.-centric boundaries and, indeed, start to shape the lens with which to view a truly international discipline that had been hiding in plain sight for decades. And so, yes, Alice and Isabel understand the laborious process of carving out intellectual space for such a formidable international undertaking. This particular project, which has been in the works for two to three years, is a labor of love and we are so pleased to be able to bring it to our audience at this time. I want to thank the blind reviewers for their contributions as well as LJS associate editors William Dow, Miles Maguire, and Roberta Maguire for working so diligently with individual writers and the special issue editors through the editing process. And I want to especially thank our associate edi- tor in charge of copy editing and fact checking, Marcia
