Manuscript Editing for Religion and the Arts Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Religion and the Arts sets out to “explore religious experience and expression in the verbal, visual and performing arts,” read in the context of contemporary theory and culture. It is edited at Boston College, and Brill handles its subscriptions. It takes up older and newer works alike and publishes new research alongside overviews and critiques of existing scholarship.

Refereed articles normally run 5,000 to 10,000 words. Citations follow MLA style. Authors obtain and pay for reproduction rights for every image and supply written permission, or proof of public domain, before publication; figures go in as TIFF or JPG files at 300 dpi or better. Off the Grid Editing checks that each image is described where your argument relies on it and that every citation matches the works cited. Articles go through the journal's Editorial Manager site.
