Submission deadline: September 1, 2024

The Eudora Welty Review welcomes proposals for essays for its 2025 special topic issue, “Welty and Children.” Articles may address any aspect of representations of children, childhood, or childness in Welty’s fiction, nonfiction, and/or photography. Essays might consider the relationships of such representations to larger thematics, contexts, or legacies of Welty’s work, including in relation to the work of other artists and writers. Scholarly lenses in addition to literary/art criticism are welcomed. We encourage innovative interpretations and approaches to this topic!

Preliminary proposals or inquiries may be directed to the issue’s Guest Editors, Katherine Henninger, at kth@lsu.edu and Keri Watson, at Keri.Watson@ucf.edu. The deadline for article submissions (7,500-10,000 words) is September 1, 2024.
