The LLJ has two annual deadlines of 15th August and 15th of January for submission of articles and will consider submissions on a rolling basis. The LLJ publishes two volumes per year. Please also note that as a student operated journal a smaller editorial team is in place during the summer months and response times will vary accordingly.

Submitted book reviews and book notes should be no longer than 2000 words, including footnotes. Submissions of exceptional quality that vary from the preferred length may be considered for publication at the discretion of the Editorial Team.
The LLJ accepts electronic submissions. Authors can make electronic submissions by creating an Author account on this Online Journal System.
