The Carolinas Communication Annual, the peer-reviewed, state/regional journal published by the Carolinas Communication Association (representing both North and South Carolina), is now accepting submissions for Volume 41. The annual features the study of communication broadly, and accepts manuscripts from any sub-discipline, genre or methodology represented within the communication discipline. We are particularly interested in manuscripts that feature diverse perspectives on any number of communicative practices, and especially encourage manuscripts addressing topics relevant to the Carolinas and surrounding geographic region. We are committed to working with authors at any career level – from first time submitters to seasoned writers. Original essays are typically 7000-7500 words in length, however, pieces that fall outside this range will be considered if the methodology warrants a shorter or longer analysis.
The annual also features a robust discussion of communication pedagogy and activities for our GIFTS INC (Great Ideas for Teaching Students in the Carolinas) section. Submissions to this section should be modeled after activity essays published in the journal Communication Teacher and offer practical skills and knowledge about teaching communication in various educational contexts (K-12, community college, 4-year universities, etc.). Original submissions to this section are typically 2000-2500 words in length.
All questions related to submission should be directed to the editor, Michaela DE Meyer, mmeyer@cnu.edu All submissions should follow the latest edition of APA and be free of the author(s) identifying information. Submissions are due April 15th, 2025, and should be submitted via Google Forms: https://forms.gle/TAZrZZbkktZtGDWP9
