Literature and Medicine
Author Guidelines

Literature and Medicine is a scholarly, interdisciplinary journal devoted to exploring connections between literary and medical knowledge and understanding. Issues of disease, illness, health, medical science, trauma, and the body are examined through literary, medical, and cultural texts. Our readership includes a wide variety of health care professionals as well as scholars of literature, history, writing, narrative, rhetoric, trauma, culture, and critical theory.

Literature and Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal. Authors' names should appear only on a cover sheet, and any identifiers in the text should be masked so manuscripts can be reviewed anonymously. Literature and Medicine reviews only unpublished manuscripts that are not simultaneously under review for publication elsewhere. Please supply an abstract of 100 or fewer words. Manuscripts may be submitted electronically as Microsoft Word or PDF attachments to an email addressed to cmanderson@ualr.edu with the subject line “A Literature and Medicine Submission.” Hard copy manuscripts are also acceptable and should be submitted in triplicate. All submissions should have text and notes double-spaced and prepared according to guidelines in The Chicago Manual of Style, current edition.
