Submission Guidelines

Scopophilia accepts reviews, observations and criticism on anything that affects the visual media. Reviews of books and articles concerning visual media will also be accepted. Movie reviews and DVD reviews will also be accepted.

Scopophilia plans to include a list of artists, directors and critics with details about their influence on visual media in the near future. If you have someone in mind for this listing, please send an e-mail to scopophiliajournal@hotmail.com with the words "visual media influence" in the subject.

Scopophilia thought it would be nice to include some friendly reminders of what kind of formating Scopophilia would like to see submitted.

The biggest difference between print and Web articles is that Web articles are harder on the eyes to read, so we'd like to see smaller paragraphs and a return in between the paragraphs so that there is a line of spacing between each.

Bolding titles is more easily recognized than using the standard quote marks, so Scopophilia asks that titles of books, movies, art work and anything else that would normally necessitate quote marks to be bolded instead.

For the time being, Scopophilia will be using The Associated Press style when it comes to more mundane editing tasks (months, states, etc.), but soon hopes to incorporate the Chicago Manual of Style.

Be sure to check out our banned words list. Scopophilia will abide by this list, with little exception. This list will continue to be updated as the journal progresses, as will the submission guidelines.

Also be sure to check out our Topics/themes list to see what kind of ideas we will be publishing in the future. Scopophilia will publish other submissions outside of this calendar. The deadlines are to give theme and organization to posts published within the same time frame.

Submissions should be directed toward scopophiliajournal@hotmail.com with the word "submission" in the subject. Paste your submission into the body (preferably with any html coding necessary). Do not post html for including photos or art, instead include the URL. No attachements please.

Scopophilia would like to include original artwork as well, but send a query e-mail to scopophilia@hotmail.com to get a list of specs that we will require.
