Submitting a Call for Papers

Do you want to organize a session for the 2014 MLA Annual Convention in Chicago? The MLA is accepting calls for papers until 21 February 2013. To submit a call, please click here. As the session organizer, you are responsible for acknowledging all submissions and inquiries regarding your call for papers. We recommend posting a submission deadline of not later than 15 March. Please note: a call for papers is not a session proposal but a way to solicit paper submissions for creating a session proposal. Proposal forms for the 2014 convention will be available at www.mla.org/ssp_menu by early March. Completed proposal forms must be submitted by 1 April 2013.

You may also search existing calls for papers or browse a list of calls for each session type. Note that all participants in convention sessions must be MLA members by 7 April 2013, and members should review other guidelines for the MLA convention before responding to calls for papers.
