Submission Guidelines
We welcome two types of submissions: essays and book or article reviews, both of which should reflect original, thoughtful engagement with contemporary philosophical topics or texts.
Essays should be between 5 and 25 pages, single-spaced, and formatted in Times New Roman, size 12. Each essay must begin with a bolded title and use Chicago style citations with footnotes, not endnotes. Submissions must be sent as PDF files titled in the following format:
FirstName-LastName-Essay-Title.pdf
(e.g., Alice-Smith-Essay-AgainstThompsonOnAgency.pdf).
If your essay is a reply to or critique of another article, please include the title of the original essay in your own title. Examples include:
Against Thompson’s Account of Moral Agency,
Revisiting Jones on Personal Identity: A Compatibilist Twist,
Moral Intuitionism Reconsidered: A Response to Davis.
Book or article reviews should be between 1 and 10 pages, single-spaced, and formatted in Times New Roman, size 12. The title of the review should simply be the bibliographic information of the work reviewed, for example:
Peter Singer. Animal Liberation Now. Harper, 2023. 336 pages.
Chicago citation style should be used throughout. Reviews should also be submitted as PDF files using the naming format:
FirstName-LastName-Review-Title.pdf
We aim to respond to all submissions within one week. There are three possible outcomes:
Approved – the essay or review is accepted with no changes needed.
Resubmit – some revisions are required before the piece can be accepted.
Denied – the submission is not accepted for publication.
We look forward to reading your work and supporting your contributions to contemporary philosophical dialogue.
The deadline for submissions will close on June 30th 2025 and the first edition should be available by July 12th 2025. We aim to have between 6 and 10 total essay submissions, and there will be no limit for the book and article reviews.
