All contributions to Plath Profiles are peer reviewed. We will endeavor to respond to your submission as soon as possible, but please keep in mind this process could take several weeks. Plath Profiles does not accept simultaneous submissions; but we do allow reprints after your work is published in our journal.
Please note: All submissions quoting Plath's work must be fair usage. We follow Plath's publisher Faber & Faber's Fair Use guidelines and ask that submissions adhere to these when considering publishing with us. It is up to the author of the essay or creative work to obtain permission from the Plath Estate when use of her artwork, poetry, or prose exceeds what is permitted under fair use. We can assist in helping you contact the Plath Estate. Because of copyright restrictions in place by Plath's Estate, papers should not quote either from unpublished drafts or from deleted text; but we do encourage conscientious paraphrasing.
Bill Buckley, Editor, and Peter K. Steinberg, Co-editor and Webmaster.
Thank you for considering Plath Profiles.
