The Journal for Literary and Intermedial Crossings (JLIC) is an e-journal that publishes original and innovative contributions engaging with literary and intermedial phenomena from various methodological angles and a wide range of disciplines including literary, theatre, media and cultural studies. We particularly welcome articles focusing on aesthetic ‘crossings’ of media, genres and spaces.

JLIC publishes two issues each year. The first issue of the year regroups regular submissions following an ‘Open Call,’ while the second publication is a special issue that represents a selection of papers delivered at the annual symposium of the journal’s founding research Centre for Literary and Intermedial Crossings. Depending on the provisional timeline, we also welcome proposals for thematic issues that fall within the journal's scope (including a minimum of 5 articles plus introduction). 

In addition to the yearly Call for Papers, which can be found in the Open Calls section, JLIC has a running Open Call. 
Contributions that respond to our running Open Call may be sent in year-round and may be published in the varia-section that accompanies the special issue.

We welcome contributions between 5,000 and 6,000 words (references and footnotes included) in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed. JLIC supports textual as well as multi-media formats. All contributions should be accompanied by an abstract of max 350 words, and a list of 3-5 keywords. 
All work submitted to JLIC should reference and be formatted according to our Author Guidelines. Articles should be submitted in Word format. Figures, video and audio files etc. should be saved separately from the text.

All manuscripts go through a double-blind peer-review process.

JLIC considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that:

• the manuscript is your own original work, and does not duplicate any other previously published work, including your own.
• the manuscript has been submitted only to the Journal for Literary and Intermedial Crossings; it is not under consideration or peer review or accepted for publication or published elsewhere.
• the manuscript contains nothing that is abusive, defamatory, libellous, obscene, fraudulent, or illegal.
• the author has obtained the necessary permission to reuse third-party material in their article. Limited use of short extracts of text and some other types of material is usually permitted without securing formal permission, for the purposes of criticism and review. If you wish to include any material in your article for which you do not hold copyright, and which is not covered by this critical agreement, you will need to obtain written permission from the copyright owner prior to submission.

Please submit your special issue proposal or article via e-mail in Word-format (.doc or .docx) to jlic@vub.be. For articles, please do not mention your name or contact details in this document, but provide a separate file containing the article’s title, your name, affiliation, e-mail address.
