Aims & Scope

 

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.
