2. Books

Series: Crime, Violence and Justice
Series Editor: Bianca Fileborn
Publisher: Trivent Publishing
Submission deadline for proposals: Ongoing
Excerpt: »This series aims to canvas innovative and critical debates across the field of criminology. We welcome proposals based on empirical research, as well as conceptual and theoretical work. 'Crime', 'violence' and' justice are conceptualized broadly in this series, and proposals may address behaviors which are within the remit of the criminal law, as well as those considered 'deviant', anti-social', or otherwise outside the scope of criminal law. Likewise, justice encompasses both formal institutional responses to crime and violence, as well as informal, innovative, and social justice.
We invite proposals for monographs, handbooks, or edited collections on a broad range of topics relating to crime, violence and justice broadly defined.«

Series: Gender and Culture in the Romantic Era
Series Editor: Ben P. Robertson
Publisher: Anthem Press
Submission deadline for proposals: Ongoing
Excerpt: »Gender and Culture in the Romantic Era is a series of scholarly monographs and edited collections devoted to the topics of gender and culture in British poetry, fiction, and drama from roughly 1780 to 1830. In terms of gender, the series encompasses scholarship related to the lives and works of women writers but also includes studies that address broader constructions of gender identity and sexuality. In cultural terms, the volumes in the series engage broadly with the interconnections between literature and such topics as book history and print culture, politics, science and medicine, travel writing, visual and auditory art, religion, the periodical press, the environment, revolution, exploration, theory, and transatlantic and other transnational connections.«

Series: Women and Gender in German Studies
Series Editor: Elisabeth Krimmer
Publisher: Camden House
Submission deadline for proposals: Ongoing
Excerpt: »This series seeks to publish monographs and edited collections dedicated to women and gender in German Studies. We are particularly interested in critical analyses that reflect the strength and diversity of works by German-speaking women authors from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries, but we also welcome feminist approaches to canonical literature as well as scholarly contributions on women's history.
We invite submissions on women and gender in literature, history, film, and the visual arts in connection with a wide range of topics, including politics, economics, religion and spirituality, race and nationality, migration and transnationality, aesthetics, violence and war, and sexuality and the body.«

3. Journals

Journal: Horror Studies
Theme: Women and Horror
Editor: Miranda Corcoran
Submission deadline for articles: August 1, 2025
Excerpt: » This special issue of Horror Studies aims to address female empowerment (cis- and transgender women) in literary and cinematic horror from 2010 to the present. The issue will showcase horror media (literature, films, television, and gaming) created by women. An intersectional approach should be applied to analyses, stressing categories of race, gender, sexuality, class and/or age in submissions. While we are interested in submissions focused on various forms of horror media, we are eager to receive submissions that foreground literary texts.«
