Call for Participants: Spring and Summer Roundtables

We’re pleased to announce our schedule of roundtables for the months of April to September. Roundtables allow for sustained consideration of important themes, ideas, and works. They provide an excellent opportunity for essayists to explore or challenge aspects of a work in more depth than is possible in a typical 800-word book review, and they offer authors the opportunity to respond to reviewers if they wish to and are available to do so, all in the spirit of furthering discussion.

We invite interested contributors to contact the roundtable editors listed below. Please note the submission deadlines for each roundtable.
