We publish between two and four Special Issues per year. Special Issues are proposed and edited by guest editors and managed by our Special Issue editorial team. Special Issues are released in June and December each year, distinct from our April and October general editions.
We regularly invite Expressions of Interest (EOI) for new Special Issues. Due to a desire to keep the quality of our content high, and to make the most of our limited resources, our EOI rounds are competitive and we are unable to accomodate all proposals.
Expressions of Interest rounds for TEXT Special Issues generally occur twice per year, and will be advertised via our blog, social media and the newsletter of the Australian Association of Writing Programs (https://aawp.org.au).
If you and your colleagues have a burning idea for a TEXT Special Issue and/or you are interested in becoming guest editor(s) for a Special Issue at TEXT, please contact our Special Issues editors at textspecialissues@aawp.org.au. Our special issues editors will be able to advise in general terms of the suitability of your idea, and will make sure you’re accurately informed about the dates for our next open call for EOIs.
