For over forty years, Biography has been an important forum for well-considered biographical scholarship. It features stimulating articles that explore the theoretical, generic, historical, and cultural dimensions of life writing; and the integration of literature, history, the arts, and the social sciences as they relate to biography. Each issue also offers insightful reviews, concise excerpts of reviews published elsewhere, an annual bibliography of works about biography, and listings of upcoming events, calls for papers, and news from the field.

  • Author Guidelines
  • Unsolicited submissions to Biography are welcome. Texts should be double-spaced and approximately 5,000 to 10,000 words in length, including bibliography and endnotes. Biography is now using the eighth edition of the Modern Language Association (MLA) reference and works cited system. Authors are welcome to submit their essays to Biography following MLA’s guidelines, or they can use another style and reference system with which they are more comfortable. Please include a 50-word abstract and a biographical note of one or two sentences. All copyrights are held by the Biographical Research Center unless other arrangements are agreed upon.

    Biography follows a policy of double-anonymous submissions. Authors should email their essays to biograph@hawaii.edu without their names appearing anywhere on or in the document. Until a final decision is reached, the identity of the author will not be revealed to outside readers or our acquisition editors.

    If an author is unable to anonymize their work without significantly interfering with their argument, they ought to include in a cover note to the managing editor with the submission a message stating that anonymizing the text was not possible. Biography will not be able to conduct double-anonymous peer review for these texts under these circumstances, but the managing editor will maintain a single-anonymous review, where the names of the text’s readers will be protected.

    Inquiries are welcome. Please address questions about book reviews to our Book Review editor, Caroline Zuckerman at gabiog@hawaii.edu.
