To submit an item for publication in a CES publication, email it in .pdf, Word or Rich Text format to ecozoic.studies@gmail.com. You may also mail a printed copy to Center for Ecozoic Studies, 2516 Winningham Road, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 27516, USA. Note, however, that we will not return printed copies that are mailed to us unless you send a self-addressed, stamped return envelope. When you send a submission, please send your contact information, a brief description of yourself that we may use to identify you to our readers, and, preferably, a picture of yourself. Items accepted for publication will be reviewed and edited by the staff of The Ecozoic Reader prior to publication. The author will be consulted on significant revisions but may not be otherwise consulted.
Style
In most cases, CES, in its publications, follows The Chicago Manual of Style. For references, authors may use either the notes-bibliography style or the author-date style; provided, however, that, if the author uses the notes-bibliography style there is no need to have a bibliography unless the submission is of book length. The “Turabian Manual” (Kate Turabian, et al, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations) follows The Chicago Manual of Style and may be used by authors. The “Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide” is available here. Items submitted for publication should conform to The Chicago Manual of Style.
CES does, however, use certain conventions that are differ from The Chicago Manual of Style. These are described in the CES Style Manual. It is not necessary for authors to read and follow the CES Style Manual prior to making submissions, but they should be aware that their items accepted for publication will be edited to conform to the CES Style Manual. We welcome comments on, questions about, and suggestions for our style manual.
