The Journal of Victorian Culture (JVC) Online welcomes proposals addressing issues of pedagogy, contemporary popular culture, and the academy as they relate to Victorian studies.
JVC Online asks that all contributors be conscious of the online medium in which their work will appear. For text-based pieces, contributors should be careful to limit paragraph length for readability, and posts should be no more than 1500 words in length. We also invite contributors to be a little bit less formal that traditional academic prose allows.
Multimedia contributions, such as sound recordings and short videos, and non-traditional formats, such as tweets and hypertext, are enthusiastically encouraged.
Contributors should browse the current content of JVC Online in order to get a sense of house style and the kinds of content appropriate for each of our main categories (see the links above in the masthead).
Queries and proposals should be emailed to the Editor of JVC Online, Lucinda Matthews-Jones at JournalofVictorianCulture@gmail.com. All posts should be sent to Lucie as an MS Word or html attachment.

Contributors should send a list of images to be included in the post along with suggestions for their locations within the text.
