The Journal of Literary Onomastics (formerly Literary Onomastics Studies) is the only scholarly periodical concerned with the linguistic and philological aspects of proper names in dramatic, narrative and verse texts. Issues appear in print and online. In order to be considered for publication, all submissions must at a minimum demonstrate that they are substantially informed by current scholarly literature on onomastics and mindful of its characteristic methods. Given the expertise of the editor and editorial advisory board, studies dealing with literatures in Old, Middle and Modern English as well as other West European languages will be particularly welcome, though occasional issues under guest editorship dealing with other literary traditions may appear as well. All submissions must be in English and citations must follow the most recent edition of the MLA Handbook. The journal will publish both article-length submissions and notes; reviews will be commissioned. Issues appear once per year and are printed by the State University of New York at Brockport.

Submitted articles should be sent to the editor’s email address (sjurasin@brockport.edu) as attached files in MS Word; these should not contain any references that reveal the identity of the author. After an initial evaluation by the editor, all submissions will be reviewed by one or more anonymous referees for a period not to exceed 3-4 months.

Books for review should be sent to the following address:
