Excellence. Accuracy. Originality. Clarity.
Signum University Press showcases rigorous academic studies, translations, editions, and commentaries. We accept a wide variety of academic works, such as monographs, collections, essays, and standalone articles, which we will oversee through the peer-review process.
While we are interested in smart, engaging, insightful works of scholarship in any area of literature, language, and linguistics, we are particularly keen to publish studies of
- Tolkien and the Inklings;
- speculative fiction broadly (including fantasy, science fiction, mythology, folklore, fairy tales, and adaptations);
- historical, modern, and invented languages;
- linguistics and philology;
- digital humanities;
- popular culture and fandoms.
All theoretical approaches are welcome, including interdisciplinary and experimental perspectives. The Editor notes a particular need for readings that employ ecocriticism or critical race theory in thoughtful, innovative ways, or studies of Afro/Africanfuturism and Indigenous Futurisms.
Some of our upcoming projects include an essay collection on recent Arthuriana and a study of early American and British science fiction television.
