Call for Manuscripts
for the Florida Reading Journal

The Florida Reading Journal publishes manuscripts related to literacy research and classroom practice.  Research syntheses and creative works are also considered for the journal.  The Florida Reading Journal (FRJ) has a readership of approximately 3000 teachers, literacy coaches, teacher-educators, and literacy researchers.

Information for Authors:  

Authors are requested to submit only unpublished articles not under review by any other publication. A manuscript (8-14 pages) should be typed, double spaced, not right justified, not hyphenated, and should follow the 6th edition guidelines of APA (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association).

Submit online as an email attachment which is Microsoft Word compatible in .doc, docx, or .rtf format (mac users please remember to add extensions).  Include a cover page which contains the manuscript title, the author(s), institutional affiliation, contact information, and date of submission. Remove any information from the manuscript that might identify the author(s).

Manuscripts are first reviewed by an internal review board for appropriateness of the manuscript for the journal. If it is evaluated as a good fit, the manuscript is blind, peer-reviewed by three members of the Editorial Review Board. If the manuscript is accepted, the co-editors reserve editorial rights. The review process takes about 2 months.
