We are happy to announce that we are now accepting submissions for the next volume (36) of PSA, the peer-reviewed scholarly journal of the Pirandello Society of America (https://www.pirandellosociety.org/). This is an open topic issue – any work on or relating to Luigi Pirandello is invited. The volume will be published in 2024, both online and in print.
PSA encourages interdisciplinary and comparative work; we are happy to consider submissions that address Pirandello or Pirandellian themes in relation to other figures and movements, whether contemporary to Pirandello or not. If you have questions about whether your work might be a fit, please feel free to reach out to the Editors at editorpsa@gmail.com.
Deadline for submissions is January 31, 2024. Send a Word document to editorpsa@gmail.com. Please follow the current MLA Style Manual and use in-text references, minimal endnotes, and a works cited page. Articles should generally be ~6,000-8,000 words in length. All submissions must be in fluid English. The journal does not offer extensive language editing for non-native submissions, nor are we able to offer translation services for authors writing in other languages. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure their submission is in fluid English.
All manuscripts will be screened in a peer-review process by at least two readers. Submit with a separate cover sheet giving the author’s name, affiliation, and contact information. Omit self-identifying information in the body of the text and all headers and footers.
Reviews:
PSA also accepts review submissions on a rolling basis. We publish reviews of scholarly work relating to Pirandello as well as performance reviews of relevance. Reviews should generally be between 750-1,000 words in length and may include images, though the author is responsible for all image permissions. Contact the Editors at editorpsa@gmail.com to submit or with any queries.
Translations and Creative Work:
PSA also publishes new translations of Pirandello’s works or closely related works that have not been previously available in English. Likewise, we publish original creative work with a clear tie to Pirandello. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis. If you are interested in submitting a translation or your creative work, contact the Editors for more info.
We look forward to your submissions,
Lisa Sarti and Michael Subialka
