The Looking Glass

The Looking Glass requests submissions to the following sections:

• Alice's Academy, the scholarly refereed section (peer reviewed by at least two outside readers)
• Emerging Scholars and New Voices, the section specifically designed for students and professors to work together in creating publishable scholarship. In addition to giving students the opportunity to develop their scholarship, it allows them to participate in the logistics of submitting and revising articles. Papers may address any aspect of children's literature. (Submissions must be made by a professor with the student's permission.)

• Illuminating Texts, the column of author and illustrator interviews and articles

Submissions on children's book publishing and technology and children's literature are also desired.
