Lifewriting
Annual: Biographical and Autobiographical Studies
Lifewriting Annual publishes articles and reviews on the full
range of lifewriting: biography, autobiography, memoir, journals,
diaries, and letters. We are interested in publishing critical and scholarly
essays on all forms of lifewriting as well as reviews of them. We are
particularly interested in articles describing and assessing scholarly
resources for biographical writing, especially collections of manuscripts and
letters. Essays that combine two or more lifewriting genres are welcome for a
section of the Annual called “Crossings.” We do not publish reviews of
scholarly books on lifewriting.
Lifewriting Annual is a forum for the discussion of all aspects
of lifewriting—theoretical, critical, scholarly, and creative. We hope that its
broad scope fosters lively discussion about the ways that the various forms of
lifewriting inform each other.
