Manuscript Editing for Feminist Review Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Run as a collective since 1979, Feminist Review holds space for conversations that rethink and reimagine feminist scholarship and praxis. It publishes accessible knowledge and timely interventions that build on Black, Indigenous, decolonial, and transnational feminist struggle, with values that center care. SAGE publishes it, and its editorial office is at 198 Contemporary Arts and Learning in London.

Articles run 6,000 to 8,000 words, and Open Space pieces up to 3,000, with counts including the abstract, text, footnotes, and references. Open Space takes dialogue, work in progress, polemic, poetry, and other forms. Citations follow Sage Harvard author-date, with every in-text citation matching the reference list. Articles carry an unstructured abstract of 200 to 300 words. The manuscript is fully anonymized, and a separate title page holds the Statements and Declarations. The word count and date go at the end of the text. Review is triple-anonymized, with two collective editors reading first and two external referees after. Off the Grid Editing applies Sage Harvard and checks the word count. Submissions go through Sage Track.
