An Invitation to Authors
We welcome the opportunity to consider thoughtful articles exploring the principles underlying a free society: private property, the rule of law, voluntary exchange, individual rights, morality, and responsibility, and limitations on power. We publish both scholarly and popularly written nonfiction articles.
Although a necessary part of the literature of freedom is the analysis of collectivist and interventionist errors, we emphasize the positive case for freedom. We advocate self-improvement rather than compulsory reform of others. We avoid name-calling and partisan, electoral politics. We do not advocate political action as a cure for problems caused by government intervention.
Preparation:
- Query before submitting articles and book reviews.
- Articles should be submitted via e-mail, in Word format. Include the author’s name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, Social Security number, and a sentence or two that we may use to identify the author to our readers. (If electronic submission is impossible other arrangement may be made.)
- Suggested manuscript length: 2,500-3,000 words.
- Facts and quotations must be fully documented, with attributions incorporated into the text.
- We prefer to purchase full rights to an article, but we will withhold reprint rights at the author’s request. By submitting an article, the author warrants that he has unencumbered rights to it and that it has not been submitted, accepted, or published elsewhere. Authors are paid on publication.
