Dear colleagues,
As the editors of Variants, the Journal of the European Society for Textual Scholarship, we would like to invite you to submit an essay for the fifteenth edition of our journal. Variants ( https://journals.openedition.org/variants/275) is an Open Access, peer-reviewed journal, published with Open Edition publishers. The fifteenth issue of the journal will carry the title of our most recent ESTS conference in Málaga: "Textual Scholarship in the 21st Century", and we especially welcome extended versions of papers that were presented at the conference. But essays outside of the conference are welcome too, on any aspect of textual scholarship such as the theories and practices of (digital) scholarly editing, tool development, genetic criticism, codicology and palaeography, philology, manuscript studies, etc.
If you are interested in submitting an essay, please send an expression of interest by *Friday January 10th* that includes a brief description of the essay's topic (approximately 50 to 100 words) to variants@textualscholarship.eu. Full papers are due by Friday March 13, 2020.
We accept submissions in .docx and its open source equivalents. For authors who are comfortable writing in LaTeX, we have prepared a template that is available on GitHub (https://github.com/WoutDLN/variantx-for-authors) and as an Overleaf template ( https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/submission-template-to- variants-for-authors/znsqffgrvshv).
Please share this call with anyone who may be interested. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to forward them to us!
We look forward to receiving your submissions, The Editorial board of Variants, General Editor, Wout Dillen Associate Editor, Elli Bleeker Guest Editor, Laura Esteban Segura Review Editor, Stefano Rosignoli
