Author Guidelines

Submissions are open only to members of the Society for German American Studies.  If you are not a current member of the Society, you are welcome to join or renew your membership before you submit:  https://sgas.org/membership/

Manuscripts are submitted without the author's name so they can be reviewed anonymously by three members of the Editorial Board.  Authors and reviewers remain hidden from one another (double-anonymous peer review).  

For publication consideration, prepare the text in accordance with the University of Chicago Press Manual of Style, then submit the essay through the Submission menu.

All correspondence concerning the Yearbook should be addressed to the editor, William D. Keel (wkeel@ku.edu).

Inquiries from publishers regarding book reviews for the Yearbook should be addressed to Marc Pierce (mpierc@austin.utexas.edu). Members interested in reviewing books should also contact Marc Pierce.  Book reviews are generally 750 words (review essays 1500-2000).
