SUBMITTING
PAPERS TO EX POST FACTO
The editors of Ex Post
Facto seek papers for publication displying original scholarship
that may be interdisciplinary, but should be predominantly
historical in focus. Papers previously submitted for class work are
acceptable, as are outside projects. Editors select articles
according to style, content, and originality, and work with writers
to bring their writing to a higher lever. The submission process is
a learning experience and a great opportunity to improve your
work.

Manuscripts
should be typed, double-spaced, on letter-sized paper, in a
12-point font that is easy to read. Preferably, the paper should
be no more than 30 pages.
-
Please leave
wide margins, preferably 1 to 1.5 inches.
-
Each copy of
the paper should be either stapled or held with a binder clip.
Please do NOT use folders, rubber bands, or paper clips to hold
individual papers together.
-
Style,
including footnotes, should be to the specifications recommended
in the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th Edition, spelling
according to the Webster’s New College Dictionary. Both
are available in the History Department office.
-
Maps, charts,
tables, graphs, and illustrations are acceptable, but the author
is responsible for obtaining permission in writing from the owner.
Please provide captions and courtesy lines.

If your paper
is selected, an electronic version of the paper will be required. Please be aware of this. Keep (and back up) a version of the
paper, as submitted.
Ex Post
Facto is also soliciting Book Reviews, Movie Reviews and Museum Exhibit Reviews.
Book Reviews
should follow the guidelines above, but should be only 3-6 pages in
length. Books should be a sample of recent historical literature --
again, they may be interdisciplinary, but should be predominantly
historical in nature. Reviewers should write thoughtful, informed
critiques that clearly state the purpose, thesis, and main arguments
of the book, evaluate strengths and weaknesses, and discuss it
within its historiographical context.
History 700 is a highly
recommended prerequisite for reviewers.
The Movie and Museum Reviews must be completed just prior to publication, probably over the summer. If you are interested in doing either a movie review or a museum review, please contact the managing editors.
