Call for Submissions: CCCC 2025 Convention Companion Publication

In an effort to increase access and opportunity for all CCCC members to share their work with our intellectual community, we are calling for presenters accepted to the 2025 CCCC Annual Convention but who cannot attend to submit papers to be considered for the CCCC 2025 Convention Companion Publication. Papers may be up to seven pages in length (similar to that of a roundtable paper). To inform us of your intent to submit a paper, please complete this form by December 11, 2024. Following the completion of the Intent to Submit form, paper submissions are due by January 15, 2025.

While all CCCC members whose proposals were accepted for presentation at the 2025 CCCC Annual Convention but who are unable to attend are eligible to apply, those attendees impacted by one or more of the following considerations will be prioritized:

Graduate student status
Health (disability, physical or mental illness, or caregiving responsibilities)
Religious observances (Passover, Ramadan, etc.)
Funding or financial constraints (graduate students, adjunct faculty, and international scholars will be prioritized)
Employment precarity (graduate students, adjunct faculty and lecturers, those experiencing austerity cuts at their institutions)

Only proposals that have been accepted to the CCCC 2025 program are eligible for inclusion in the Companion Publication.

The lead author/submitter must be a CCCC member at the time of submission to the Companion Publication. Submitters are not required to register for the 2025 CCCC Annual Convention.

The Companion Publication is one of a few options that CCCC is making available for those who are not able to physically attend the 2025 Convention in Baltimore. Please note that those interested in remote presentation should choose only one of the options. To provide equitable access for all presenters, we kindly request that members make a wise choice for where they want to submit their papers or presentations.

How to submit

Complete the Intent to Submit form by December 11, 2024. Paper submitters will be notified when the submission platform is open.
Once notified, submit your paper (no more than seven pages in length including any notes and references) by January 15, 2025. Additionally, papers should:

- follow MLA style (MLA Handbook 9th edition);
- be in Times New Roman, 12-point font;
- have 1-inch margins;
- be double-spaced; and
- saved as an MS Word file.

The CCCC 2025 Convention Companion Publication will be made available for free to all CCCC members, with print-on-demand copies of the volume available for purchase, expected in Summer 2025.
