CALLS FOR SUBMISSIONS: Book Reviews for Critical Studies in Media
Communication

Jessica B. Burstrem, jburstrem at umbc.edu



As the Book Reviews Editor of Critical Studies in Media Communication (CSMC)
for volumes 40-42, I am again accepting proposals. A peer-reviewed
publication of the National Communication Association, CSMC discusses
mediated and mass communication from cultural studies and critical
perspectives. It particularly encourages debates among various critical
traditions, methodological and analytical approaches, and theoretical
standpoints. CSMC takes an inclusive view of media and thus welcomes
scholarship on topics such as media audiences, representations,
institutions, digital technologies, social media, gaming, professional
practices and ethics, production studies, media history, and political
economy.


Book reviewers should:

   - Craft a thorough and provocative 800-1,000 word book review (including
   references)
   - Conform to the APA Style Guide, 7th ed. (2020)
   - Use the following format at the outset of the review:



Title, Author(s) or “edited by” Editors(s), Place of Publication,
Publisher, Year of Publication, Number of pages followed by “pages,” $Price
USD (“Paperback” and/or “Hardcover” and/or “eBook”), ISBN.


Reviewed by _________

Title, College

Institution

City, State, Country



Content of book and media reviews should demonstrate:

   - A working knowledge of the text’s major premises
   - An analytical yet humane analysis of the text’s major premises,
   contributions, etc.
   - Insight significant to national and international audiences
   - A recommendation of whom and/or what the book/media is relevant to/for


First-time reviewers may find the following link helpful:

We also recommend that you read a sample of book reviews, including some
from CSMC, to help you get a sense of the scholarly review genre. We
welcome proposals from master’s students with strong writing skills. We
encourage reviewers to ask a mentor or other fellow writer to review their
work before submission. Book reviews will be editorially reviewed by way of
a rigorous, iterative revision process.


If you are interested in reviewing, please send the following information
directly to jburstrem at umbc.edu
<jburstrem at umbc.edu?subject=CSMC%20book%20review%20proposal> with “CSMC
book review proposal” in the subject line: (1) your name, (2) full title
and contact information, (3) proposed book or media title to review, and
(4) proposed timeline for the completion of your review. Please ask if you
would like a review copy/PDF of the book. I will respond to book and media
review inquiries within two (2) weeks unless otherwise indicated in a
vacation or travel email autoreply. I will consider proposals as they come
in, and the decision to accept or decline a proposal to review will depend
on a constellation of factors including existing reviews, proposed
timeline, etc.



Authors should feel welcome to support their own work by encouraging
colleagues to propose to review their work in response to this call. CSMC’s
editors and I are quite open to review proposals of books not listed here;
nonetheless, CSMC is potentially interested in:
