stablished in 1981 and sponsored by the Wilkie Collins Society in London, the Wilkie Collins Journal is an annual peer-reviewed publication dedicated to the life and writings of Wilkie Collins.
The editorial team is keen to accept new submissions from both university-based and independent scholars. We would like to encourage: a wide range of methodological approaches and ideological perspectives; biographical and bibliographical as well as critical analysis; work on Collins’s lesser-known fiction as well as the major sensation novels of the 1860s; investigations of Collins not only as novelist but also as dramatist, journalist and short-story writer; and comparative, international or historical studies situating Collins’s writings in a broader context.
The WCJ is happy to consider the submission of research articles up to around 8,000 words and research notes of around 3,000. All manuscripts should be in MS Word format, follow MLA Style, and not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All submissions are subject to peer review, and should be sent via email attachment to the general editor, Graham Law of Waseda University: glaw@waseda.jp. The WCJ also undertakes reviews of major new publications on Collins and related topics. Enquiries from authors or publishers should be sent by email to the same address.
The Special Bicentennial Issue of the Wilkie Collins Journal for 2024 will be made available both online in PDF format and in paper copy. To be in time for potential publication in this special issue towards the end of the year, we recommend submission no later than the end of July 2024.
