Journal of Screenwriting (JS)

The Journal of Screenwriting is an international double-blind peer-reviewed journal published three times per year. The journal highlights current academic and professional thinking about the screenplay – in all its forms and guises – and stimulates debate about contemporary and historical screenwriting practices, as well as the teaching of screenwriting and training of screenwriters. The journal is committed to research that represents a truly global perspective. The journal is discursive, critical and rigorous, and is inclusive of all forms of research and scholarship in what is a dynamic and developing field. The Journal of Screenwriting explores the nature of writing for the screen in its broadest sense. It showcases original thinking around screenwriting history, theory, practice and pedagogy, with a truly international perspective and outlook. The journal encourages a broad range of approaches to studying screenplays and the screenwriting profession, drawing on methodological traditions from creative practice, cultural and media studies, history, and industry/production studies, to name just a few. The journal is also open to submissions that take the form of ‘industry insights’ and ‘pedagogy papers’, encouraging a wide range of voices and interests to help build and shape the field of screenwriting studies. The journal also prides itself on mentoring new voices within the field and collaboratively written articles that assist in this endeavour are welcomed.
