Submissions to Grey Room should be sent in Word document format to editors [at] greyroom [dot] org. Manuscripts for review may be no more than 8,500 words (excluding notes), double-spaced, and in accordance with The Chicago Manual of Style. Please include a title page containing the title, word count, your name, and contact information.
Successful submissions undergo extensive peer review by multiple readers and, typically, multiple rounds of edits. Due to the volume of submissions and editorial standards, Grey Room is only able to publish a small percentage of the manuscripts it receives. Authors can expect acknowledgement of submission upon receipt and will usually recieve an initial decision within 12 weeks.
Special issue proposals should include a 1–2 page prospectus outlining the topic, followed by brief abstracts of the proposed contributions. If the editors determine that the topic is a promising fit for Grey Room, the proposing author(s) will be invited to submit all the manuscripts together, edited and formatted according to the journal’s submission guidelines. Each contribution will undergo an individual and rigorous review, evaluated both for its intrinsic merits and in relation to the issue as a whole. We cannot guarantee that all proposed contributions will be uniformly accepted.
All inquiries should be directed to editors [at] greyroom [dot] org.
