Following the format of the 2021 Literary Geographies collection of essays on ‘Literary Geographies of Isolation’ (https://www.literarygeographies.net/index.php/LitGeogs/issue/view/13) the journal’s editors are now seeking short contributions which engage with the theme of ‘Conversations’ from a literary geography perspective for the 2024 October issue.

We welcome submissions of approximately 1500 words which engage with the theme of ‘conversations’ in relation to theory and practice in and for literary geography.

Topics might include, for example:

• author-text-reader conversations, from a literary geography perspective
• using interviews and questionnaires (methodology in literary geography)
• intertextuality as temporo-spatial conversation
• interdisciplinary conversations in literary geography: terminological difficulties
• conversations in co-authoring: a literary geography perspective
• literary geography and epistolary fiction

In the first instance authors should contact the editors with a brief proposal; completed essays of approximately 1500 words will be due by 30th June 2024. Initial contact: hones@literarygeographies.net)
