African Arts Manuscript Submission


Welcome to African Arts’ new manuscript submission system. Please note that the format for submission has changed.

Required fields are noted with an asterisk.

Please note that all reviews are commissioned by review editors. Contact Wesleigh Gates (email below) if you would like your name passed along as a potential reviewer.

The review process for submissions to African Arts can take up to a year, although we make every effort to process manuscripts as rapidly as possible. We will email you the decision of the editors, along with any relevant reviews, when the process is complete.

The African Arts review process uses UCLA’s corporate Box.com account to transmit files to reviewers. This is a password-protected system that allows only invited reviewers to see the files. If you have any concerns about this, please contact us at the email below for further information.

Queries may be directed to Wesleigh Gates at wgates@international.ucla.edu.
