Call for Peer Reviewers

The Dragon Lode, the journal of the Children’s Literature and Reading Special Interest Group of the International Literacy Association, invites interested scholars, educators, and researchers to serve as peer reviewers.

We are seeking reviewers with expertise in children’s and young adult literature, K–12 literacy education, literacy pedagogy, teacher education, library and media studies, critical literacy, multicultural and diverse literature, and related fields. Peer reviewers play an essential role in supporting the journal’s mission by offering thoughtful, constructive, and timely feedback to authors.

To serve as a peer reviewer, individuals must be members of the International Literacy Association and the Children’s Literature and Reading Special Interest Group.

Those interested in joining our growing international team of peer reviewers, can apply for membership to the International Literacy Association at https://www.literacyworldwide.org/membership and reach out to incoming co-editors Dr. Amy Leshinsky and Kate Kelly at thedragonlode@gmail.com with a brief statement of interest, areas of expertise, institutional affiliation, and current contact information.

We look forward to welcoming new reviewers who are committed to supporting meaningful scholarship, thoughtful dialogue, and high-quality work in children’s literature, young adult literature, and literacy education.
