NOTES ON MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS Foreign Affairs covers a broad range of topics related to American foreign policy and international affairs. It strives to present clear thinking by knowledgeable observers on important issues, written in English that can be read with ease and pleasure by both professionals and a general audience.We publish four categories of material. Comments are 2,000-3,000-word front-of-the-book pieces that make a single, provocative point. Essays are more extensive 4,000-5,000-word pieces of analysis or reportage that comprise the body of the magazine. Review Essays are 2,000-3,000-word discussions of new books. Correspondence presents feedback from readers on material that has been published in previous issues. Letters to the editor intended for publication should be no more than 500 words and may be edited for space and style if selected. We welcome unsolicited manuscripts and article proposals. The normal way to submit material is through regular mail; please type or print out your submission, double-spaced, on standard 8 1/2" x 11" paper, using only one side of each sheet. Please send materials to Foreign Affairs, Editorial Department, 58 East 68th Street, New York, NY 10065. The best guide to what we are looking for, in terms of both substance and style, is what we have already published, so prospective authors should start by carefully examining current and recent issues of the magazine. All submissions should be accompanied by a brief note describing the author's current and past positions, recent publications, and relevant experience. We do not have fact checkers, and rely on authors to ensure the veracity of their statements. Although we try to avoid using footnotes in print, authors should be able to provide, if asked, appropriate citations for any facts or quotations their pieces contain. Unless otherwise informed, we assume any article submitted to us is being offered exclusively, and that no article accepted for publication will be published elsewhere simultaneously in any form without our knowledge. We accept submissions on a rolling basis. The following deadlines, however, are worth keeping in mind in order for a piece to be considered for a particular issue: for the January/February issue, October 16; for the March/April issue, December 11; for the May/June issue, February 12; for the July/August issue, April 9; for the September/October issue, June 11; and for the November/December issue, August 6. Any questions on these or related editorial issues should be directed to the Managing Editor at grose@cfr.org, or by mail or phone to Foreign Affairs, 58 East 68th Street, New York NY 10065, 212.434.9400. |
