Vision for the blog: A more casual, less serious scholarly space for playful pieces and personal reflections
Acceptable formats (as long as there is no copyright infringement):
- pieces of writing in Word, Rich Text Format, or PDF formats
- videos
- audio recordings
- slide presentations (PowerPoint or links to web-based formats such as Prezi or Zoho)
- photographs
Suggested length of written blog pieces:
250 to 500 words (roughly one to two typed, double-spaced pages)
Longer posts (600 to 1,200 words) may be split into two separate posts
Acceptable topics:
- brief scholarly or semi-scholarly pieces too short or too informal for the Review
- pedagogical reflections
- discussions of popular culture
- what was omitted from a scholarly presentation/article/book
- reflections on one’s own earlier (pre-2000) publications
Note that all topics must be related to Hemingway and/or his work
Unacceptable content:
- promotion of any book or other item available for sale (although mentioning one’s book in a very brief author’s note—Lisa Tyler is the author of Book Title—would be acceptable)
- promotion of any event not organized by the Hemingway Society (unless first approved by the Society’s Media Committee, using the guidelines already established)
- creative writing (no poetry or short fiction)
- excerpts from unpublished Hemingway letters (because the Society does not have the electronic copyright to publish these)
Editorial process:
- all submissions will be reviewed by the blog editor and then members of the blog’s Advisory Board
Contributors: Society membership preferred but not required
