Q: “Will you consider my poem or short story? A: We're delighted that Conan Doyle’s works inform your creative writing! However, The Conan Doyle Review is not the right outlet for fiction, poetry, or fanworks, unless they appear in the context of a specific scholarly discourse.

Thank you for your support!

Q: “I'm not an Arthur Conan Doyle expert, but I wrote a paper in my own field that touched on him, would you consider it?" A: Yes! We want to be a crossroads for scholarship in as many disciplines as possible. If it's related to Conan Doyle, we’re interested.

Q: “I’m not an academic, but I am a Doylean or a Sherlockian. Can I still submit to The Conan Doyle Review?” A: Certainly! Work is accepted based on its quality, not based on your credentials. We are happy to consider submissions from independent scholars.

Q: “How rigorous is the review process for publishing in The Conan Doyle Review?” A: Reviews, interviews, and editorials may be accepted and published following editorial review. Scholarly articles undergo double-blind peer review.

Q: “What will you publish?” A: The Conan Doyle Review will publish scholarly articles; editorials; reviews of non-fiction books, commercial adaptations, and relevant scholarship; and original interviews.

The Conan Doyle Review is lucky to have Dr. Kate Brombley as its Senior Associate Editor! @curly_kate
