Reviewers are invited to write essays of 2,000-3,000 words that focus on one or more of these publications. It is important that authors take a critical stance on their chosen titles, providing a thoughtful account of the texts and their position alongside other media studies scholarship rather than a general summary. Authors should not be connected to the writers of the books they are reviewing in either personal or professional terms. Reviews may be motivated by current trends in film and media studies but can also tackle issues that remain overlooked within the disciplines.

If you are interesting in reviewing one of these titles – or a different book – please reach out to the to the section editor Victoria Pastor-González using our contact form.
