Literature/Film Quarterly (LFQ) is an internationally recognized, open-access journal specializing in adaptation studies. Published entirely online, LFQ makes all content freely available to readers worldwide. We publish quarterly and manuscripts often progress from initial submission through peer review to publication in less than one year. 2023 marked our 50th year of continuous publication. Visit our website for current issues, online archives (dating to 2017), and complete submission guidelines: https://lfq.salisbury.edu/

We welcome scholarly submissions of 5,000-6,500 words following MLA style guidelines. LFQ takes an expansive approach to adaptation studies and invites work on:

Core Areas:

• Case studies of individual adaptations examined through fidelity frameworks, intertextuality, industrial history, ideological contexts, audience reception, political economy, or other critical approaches
• Comparative studies of multiple adaptations
• Intertextual projects tracing ideas across media with relevance to adaptation studies
• Adaptation theory grounded in specific case studies or examples

Specialized Approaches:

• Historical or archival research related to adaptation, including studies of adaptation as industry practice
• Pedagogy of adaptation studies
• Studies of screenwriters, directors, or other practitioners within adaptation contexts
• Interviews with screenwriters, directors, or authors relevant to adaptation studies

Scholarly Dialogue:

• Responses to articles and reviews published in Literature/Film Quarterly (contents through three years prior are archived in JSTOR Arts and Sciences database)
• Reflections on how personal experiences with adaptation inform teaching and critical responses
• Original projects that advance adaptation studies in innovative ways
