Cabinet des Fees is seeking submissions ...
Call For Papers -
Cabinet des Fees
Cabinet des Fees
is a journal of fairy tale retellings
, previously purely an on-line journal, now going print under the imprimature of Prime Books, with both literary and academic components.
Cabinet des Fées
is seeking submissions of fairy tales, fairy tale related art, and fairy tale related articles for our second issue, scheduled for publication in Spring 2006. Stories may be old tales in new skins or new tales in old skins; whichever they are, they must be fairy tales. We prefer art that has been inspired by any of the classic or literary tales, conforming to the style of traditional fairy tale illustration. Finally, this leaves us with the matter of describing what a fairy tale is … and the search for scholarly explorations of the landscape of the fairy tale.
We are actively seeking academic papers relating to the history and development of the fairy tale, as well as those focusing on revisionist retellings themselves. Potential topics might include:
• Exploration of any of the “original” literary fairy tale collections as exemplars of their times.
• Examinations of techniques commonly employed in retellings – reversals of hero and villain, changes in perspective or setting, subversions of traditional endings.
• Analysis of the works of individual authors of fairy tale retellings, such as Angela Carter, Emma Donoghue, or Tanith Lee.
All manuscript submissions, including explanatory notes and the list of Works Cited, should be double-spaced in a size 12 font. Neither embedded footnotes nor generated footnotes should be used. Documentation should follow the MLA Style Manual (1999) with parenthetical citations in the text and a Works Cited list at the end. Only explanatory endnotes are needed.
Reviews of queries, proposals, and papers will begin immediately: please send papers as attachments simultaneously to: submissions@cabinet-des-fees.com and hpilinovsky@aol.com
Deadline: January 15th.
* Edited to include a link ...

Submission Questions
Helen -
Would you be interested in an analysis of the art of individual fairy tale illustrators? I wrote my senior honors thesis for Art History on LRRH illustrations. The Trina Schart Hyman chapter could, with a little reworking, stand alone, as could the chapter on Sarah Moon and Beni Montresor. Please let me know if you think such a submission would be appropriate.
I also have another analytical paper about the use of fairy tales in Jane Eyre that was published in the Scripps College Journal. Again, I am not sure if this would be appropriate to submit.
Thanks,
Sara

Re: Cabinet des Fees is seeking submissions ...
Helen,
I hope that you don't mind me asking here, but I know that if I posted a question here, you would be bound to see it.
Can you tell me if you recieved my jpeg - I sent it mid October, and I understand that if the fields were not filled out correctly, it would automatically get rejected. It is called "After the Masquerade".
Thanks!

Re: Cabinet des Fees is seeking submissions ...
Dear Sara:
Both of those sound fascinating! Off the bat, I'd say that the one on illustration might be more up our alley, but please feel free to submit both, if you like.
Best,
Helen
and
Dear Chandra:
I didn't receive anything from you ... try resending to my personal
e-mail address at hpilinovsky_at_aol.com. I'll look forward to seeing
it!
Best,
Helen
