How
to submit an essay
Portal Pessoa is currently looking for new critical texts. For
the next few months, these should have a strong emphasis on Fernando
Pessoa and his circle. Essays, articles, conference papers, dissertations
and bibliographies are all suitable for publication.
We
pay EURO 250.00 for every piece selected for publication.
Articles
can be written in either English or Portuguese, as the website has two
language versions.
There
is no word limit – maximum or minimum.
Portal
Pessoa is happy to consider pieces that have previously been published
elsewhere, although it is the authors’ responsibility to sort
out any copyright issues with other parties.
Please
send us your work, for consideration, to info@portalpessoa.org.
If
your essay is selected for publication, our editors will contact you
regarding editing and payment. Please send all manuscripts electronically,
as an email attachment in Microsoft Word format (not .pdf or similar).
Please use footnotes rather than endnotes and use Arial 11pt font for
the main body of the text.
Selection
criteria: Articles will be selected for publication by the page editor
in consultation with the Advisory Board.
Writings will be chosen for their academic merit, originality and general
interest to other readers. Due to its purely meritocratic selection
process, Portal Pessoa provides a unique opportunity for younger
scholars to compete with renowned critics for publication of their work.
