This journal accepts papers from many disciplines and is welcoming of all faiths and philosophies. We publish about 5 papers per issue that have been peer-reviewed according to academic standards. Final submissions should be 3000 to 10,000 words. Submit a short abstract using the form below.
If you have a finished paper ready for submission, send it directly to coreopsisjournalofmyththeatre@gmail.com.
The peer review process takes approximately three weeks. After that, you will likely be asked to make revisions to your paper prior to publication, so before you submit please ensure that you will be able to dedicate time and energy to revisions and still meet our deadline for publication.

Papers written by working artists who may or may not have academic training
Working artists are reviewed using different criteria. We love receiving submissions from artists and actively search for peers (other artists) to become referees for this type of paper. For art submissions that are not part of a paper, go to our Art & Multimedia submissions page.
Revisions
Revisions are normal in an academic journal and occur for many reasons. Expect your paper to undergo some revision before publication. We work closely with authors to make this as positive an experience as possible.
