Article Submissions
Submission Guidelines:
The Modern American is published twice a year and will accept articles on a rolling basis. We are a legal magazine and therefore will not publish articles over 50 pages in length. Please email all articles submissions to tma@wcl.american.edu. Please attach a cover letter with your name, number, address, biographical sketch of all authors, as well as a brief description of your article. Articles should be typed in Microsoft Word, double-spaced, with 1" margins. In preparing footnotes, authors should consult and follow the style presented in A Uniform System of Citation (18th Ed.) (the Bluebook). It may be helpful to provide the editors with a copy of sources that are particularly difficult to locate. For questions of literary style, authors should consult The Chicago Manual of Style (15th Ed).
Articles or portions of articles already published may not be eligible. Please indicate all publications in which your proposed article appears or is forthcoming. Additionally, preemption checks are the responsibility of the author. Please contact The Modern American with any questions regarding the eligibility of your article.
