STUDIES IN TRAVEL WRITING

In 2010, the journal 'Studies in Travel Writing' (published by Taylor &
Francis) will be releasing a special issue on New Zealand, co-edited by Tim
Youngs tim.youngs@ntu.ac.uk and Ian Conrich ian@ianconrich.co.uk.
Offers of further papers for this issue are now invited.

The issue will accept essays of around 7000 - 10,000 words. Submissions
must deal with travel texts, but Œtexts¹ may be broadly defined to include,
among other forms, published books, unpublished manuscripts and documents,
letters, diaries, journals, tourist literature, postcards, emails, and web
blogs.
Travel in relation to New Zealand has frequently incorporated
journeys to neighbouring islands and nations and this issue therefore
welcomes submissions that include the South Pacific in discussions of
New Zealand.
Topics might include, but are not limited to, texts
relating to the following aspects of travel in New Zealand and the
South Pacific:

Exploration and voyaging
Emigration
Literary travels
Tourism
Sporting tours
Travels of New Zealanders abroad
Walking tours
Travel criticism and theory in relation to New Zealand

The timetable is as follows: Abstracts of around 500 words by 15 February
2009; essays to be commissioned by 28 February 2009; commissioned essays due
by the end of July 2009; referees¹ reports by 1 September 2009; final copy
in by 1 November 2009; editing process completed by the end of December
2009.
