<\/h2>\n

Label Me Latina\/o<\/em><\/strong> is an online, refereed international e-journal founded in 2011 by Kathryn Quinn-Sanchez and Michele Shaul that focuses on Latina\/o\/x\/e Literary Production in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The journal invites scholarly essays focusing on these writers for its biannual publications. Label Me Latina\/o<\/strong><\/em> also publishes creative literary pieces whose authors self-define as Latina, Latino, Latinx, or Latine regardless of thematic content. Interviews of Latino, Latina, Latinx, or Latine authors will also be considered. The Co-Directors will publish creative works and scholarly essays in English or Spanish.<\/p>\n

Scholarly submissions should be 12-30 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font, and should follow the MLA Style Manual. Please use End Notes rather than Footnotes and place page numbers in the upper right-hand corner. Creative poetry, essays, and short fiction should not exceed 30 pages, 12-point font, double-spaced. We will accept simultaneous submissions of creative works. Scholarly articles under consideration should not<\/strong> be submitted elsewhere.<\/p>\n
