The European Journal of Life Writing invites review proposals for significant publications in the field of life writing that have not yet been translated into English.

We are particularly interested in reviews that introduce readers to important autobiographical, biographical, autofictional, or hybrid life-writing texts in other languages than English. Reviews should be written in English and should contextualize the work for an international readership, addressing both the text itself and its broader literary, historical, or cultural significance.

Possible areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

• memoir and autobiography
• biography
• autofiction
• family and intergenerational narratives
• queer life writing
• migration and exile narratives
• trauma and memory studies
• transnational and multilingual life writing traditions

Scholars interested in reviewing work in other languages than English are invited to contact the Book Reviews Editor with a brief proposal, including:

• the title and author of the work,
• the language in which it was published,
• a short description of the text and its significance,
• and a brief biographical note.

We especially welcome proposals that help broaden the geographical and linguistic scope of life-writing scholarship. 

If you are interested, please contact Janina Levin, Reviews and Reports Manager, at jlevin@sju.edu or https://ejlw.eu/submission.
