Manuscript Submission Information

To be considered for publication in JBW, manuscripts must focus clearly on basic writing or ESL and must add substantively to the existing literature. The manuscript should be between 15-25 pages in length and should follow current MLA guidelines. Manuscripts are submitted for blind review; therefore, include author information on cover page only. The second page should include the title but no author identification, an abstract of about 150 words, and a list of 4-5 key words.

Send manuscripts as attachments, preferably in MS Word, or as .rtf (rich text format) via email to Rebecca Mlynarczyk - rebecca.mlynarczyk@gmail.com
