Journal of Kentucky Studies
Gary Walton would like to remind ICFA members that while the Journal of Kentucky Studies has a general readership rather than being specifically directed to a genre audience, it does accept submissions on SF and fantasy that have some relation to Kentucky. He's particularly hoping for a farewell essay on Hunter S. Thompson who was a Kentucky native. Details of the journal and the submission policy are below:

Guidelines
The Journal of Kentucky Studies is a professional journal whose focus tends to center on the history, authors, literature, and general culture of Kentucky and the Appalachian region. However, JKS welcomes articles on any theme as well as art, commentary, critical essays, history, literary criticism, short fiction, and poetry. Black and white photography is also accepted.
All manuscripts should follow the University of Chicago Manual of Style (History) or MLA Style (Literature), be double-spaced, and be submitted in triplicate with S.A.S.E. Although we have no restrictions on length of prose fiction or non-fiction, most manuscripts which find their way into our pages are typically about 20 typed, double-spaced pages: 6000 words or less. The quality of the submission is the final arbiter. We also have no restriction on the style or subjects for our published poetry. Submissions, however, should be limited to 3-5 lyric poems or 1-2 longer forms. Turn around time on submissions is typically six months.
The Journal is published yearly by the Northern Kentucky University Department of Literature and Language. Statements of fact and opinion are made on the responsibility of the authors alone. All articles and other correspondence should be sent to:
Dr. Gary Walton, Editor,
Journal of Kentucky Studies,
Department of Literature and Language,
Northern Kentucky University,
Nunn Drive,
Highland Heights, Kentucky 41099.
