Hispanic Review

For Authors

Submit Manuscript

Hispanic Review is a quarterly journal devoted to research in the Hispanic languages, literatures and cultures. The editors invite authors to contribute original research to the journal for consideration. Contributors should prepare their manuscripts following the 8th ed. MLA Style Manual (New York, 2016). In addition:

  • Hispanic Review uses a double-blind review process. Hence, submissions should contain no references that identify the author. This includes name and affiliation or acknowledgments at the beginning, or in-text comments or first-person references to your own work that might reveal your identity.

  • Manuscripts should not exceed 9,000 words (30 double-spaced pages), including notes and documentation. Footnotes are preferred over endnotes, and should also be double-spaced and in the same font and size as the main body of the text for purposes of page counts.

  • No part of the submitted manuscript can have appeared in print in another journal or in another language.

  • Submissions should be in Word or RTF formats; PDFs are not acceptable.

  • Unsolicited book reviews are not considered for publication.

  • Articles are accepted in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and any of the other regional languages of Spain.

  • Direct quotes in English, Portuguese, or Spanish may be left in their original language; they do not need to be translated to the language of the article. This also applies to quotes in other regional languages of Spain only if the article is written in the language of the quote.

  • When reproducing a direct quote that does require a translation to the language of the article, the most efficient method is to put the translation as the quote in the body of the text, and include the quoted text in its original language in a footnote.
