Dear JIWS authors: Our submission portal is closed until late July or August of 2024. Please note that we do not accept article, essay, or creative submissions via email. One exception is that book and film reviews should be emailed directly to the book and film review editors listed in the Policies/Submissions page (see sidebar). Please wait until July/August 2024 to submit any new article manuscripts. We received a robust round of submissions earlier this year, so we have had to close our portal to handle the workload. If you have research relevant to the issue of women in digital spaces, we are seeking articles for a special issue, Digital Feminism and Women's Engagement with Online Spaces.
