All manuscripts should be submitted in duplicate, typed and double-spaced, and should conform to the most recent MLA Handbook guidelines (7th ed., 2009), with parenthetical documentation and a list of works cited. Informational footnotes should be kept to a minimum. Though we do not maintain formal length requirements, the editors recommend that manuscripts remain within the range of 20–35 pages. Novel reserves the right to return submissions that do not meet these specifications. We do not accept simultaneous submissions. Manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter detailing any applicable contact information and should be mailed to the Editor, Novel: A Forum on Fiction, Department of English, Duke University, Box 90015, Durham, NC 27708-0015.

All submissions received will be acknowledged via e-mail upon arrival. Hard copies of all official correspondence regarding the editors' decisions will be sent by mail. Please keep us apprised of any anticipated changes of address or contact information. Novel does not return or reconsider rejected manuscripts.

Novel's three-stage review process typically takes 12–16 weeks, allowing time for processing by the editorial staff and for initial editorial review, evaluation by external specialist readers in relevant fields, and, finally, the Editorial Board's consideration.
