CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS
The Dragon Lode
Printable Call For Manuscripts CLICK HERE
As editors of The Dragon Lode we invite all those interested
in bringing children and their literature together to submit articles
for publication in future issues. We request scholarly articles of
interest to teachers, librarians, researchers, and authors, practical
ones grounded in current theory and research, or teaching strategies
as they relate to Children’s Literature in the Classroom, Home-
School Connection, Bridges to Content Knowledge, Current Issues
in Children’s Literature and Reading, Exploration of Authors and
Illustrators, and Special Themes.
Fall 2011: Open Theme (Submissions by June 15, 2011)
We invite manuscripts that explore contemporary issues and questions, genre study, literary theory, and
research related to children’s literature and reading.
Spring 2012: International Reading: A World of Stories
(Submissions by November 15, 2011)
What are the trends in the selection and sharing of international literature? Reading in a global society has
grown exponentially along with living in the global society. In the last decade the numbers of international books
being published in the U.S. has continued to increase and the books have included topics for readers of all ages.
Fall 2012: Reading Pictures (Submissions by June 15, 2012)
What do we know about visual literacy and young readers? What are scholars and teachers discovering
about what readers know and wonder about when using illustrated books? What are scholars and teachers
discovering about picture books for older readers? We would like to explore aspects of illustration and
illustrating and factors in evaluating picture books as illustration becomes more diverse.
Spring 2013: Crossings (Submissions by November 15, 2012)
More and more books are published that cross genres such as fantasy with historical fi ction, use a picture
book format in different genres, and combine poetry with both fi ction and nonfi ction. Publishers integrate the
printed book with video, audio, and the Internet. How do teachers and scholars introduce young readers to books
that cross over or that blend genres? How do they share paired books? What are the effects of these crossings
on learning and reading? How is the reading of young adults infl uenced as they read books published for adults?
Fall 2013: Challenges (Submissions by June 15, 2013)
The Dragon Lode has included articles on cross-curricular and content area learning, yet revisiting the theme
in view of changing national initiatives in reading and shifting global relationships invites new thinking. How are
children’s lives connected with their learning and how are reading lives cultivated? What are the cross-curricular
and content area explorations that teachers and scholars have undertaken with young readers? What has been
the effect on their perceptions of the world and content area learning?
