Essays and Reviews
1) For articles and essays there is no special list of themes in which we are particularly interested. Authors and scholars are asked to bear in mind, however, that Southerly is a journal of Australian literature.
2) Southerly prefers endnotes to footnotes. These should be prepared, wherever possible, in accordance with the Modern Language Association (MLA) guidesheet. Writers whose work is accepted will be asked to adapt their endnotes to this system if they have not already done so.
3) While reviews are normally arranged by the editors, unsolicited reviews are sometimes considered. Reviews of a single book will normally be of approximately 1,000 words (of three or four books, 3,000 words).
4) Although the editors will consider essays on such topics, Southerly does not normally consider reviews of film, theatre or music/concerts.
