[Bilimsel Haber] CFP: Literary Journalism/Documentary Book Reviews for DoubleTake (10/15/06; journal issue)

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

CFP: DoubleTake/Points of Entry call for book reviews on
narrative/literary journalism and documentary


The recently merged journal DoubleTake/Points of Entry seeks book
reviews on an ongoing basis.



Submission guidelines:

We are interested in book reviews of and about narrative journalism
(a.k.a., literary journalism, creative nonfiction, etc.). We are also
interested in reviews of books in the documentary tradition, both
narrative and photographic. The reviews should be between 1,000 and
1,500 words in length. The reviews may be on either contemporary or
historical examples of the genre. If historical, the review should
reflect at least a passing familiarity with past critical perspectives
on the work and contribute new insights. For reviews of books that are
not recent publications, consider in the review why the book is worth
re-examining at this time (e.g., as a teacher's resource, as a writer's
resource, and so on). Professional journalists' perspectives on the
craft as reflected in contemporary or historical examples are also
welcome. Essays may be informal or formal, but should bear in mind in
tone and style the journal's purpose as a meeting ground for different
perspectives. Inquiries welcome. Reviews to be considered for the next
issue should be received by October 15, 2006.


For book review submissions:

* Length: 1,000-1,500 words

* Mail one hard copy or e-mail a Microsoft Word attached file of the
piece to:
