Format and style of submissions: 
    Format and style of submissions:  Please include a cover letter, providing your preferred address, telephone number, e-mail, the manuscript title, and any other important information.  Manuscripts (including endnotes, tables, and references) should be double-spaced with one-inch margins on all sides. Because American Studies uses a double-blind review process, contributors are asked not to put their names on manuscripts; only the title should appear on the manuscript.  Contributors agree upon submission that manuscripts submitted to American Studies will not be submitted for publication elsewhere while under review by American Studies. Manuscripts should be prepared following the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th Edition, and may use either the documentary-note system of documentation frequently used in history or the author-date system more common in literature or the social sciences.
  
Form of submission:  We encourage authors to submit manuscripts (with a 100 word abstract) electronically, either in Microsoft Word (for Mac or IBM file format) or WordPerfect 6.0 or above.   If electronic submission is not possible, we require four copies of the  manuscript, two copies of a 100-word abstract, and a computer disk (either Mac  or IBM file format) containing the manuscript (in either Microsoft Word or  WordPerfect).  Disks will not be returned.
