The Critical Editor

​

The Critical Editor™ (ISSN 2637-5176) is the first of its kind—an online literary journal devoted exclusively to crowd-sourcing critical editions. Published by Annotated™ and managed by its editorial team, The Critical Editor seeks contributions from established and aspiring scholars to build editions of literary works and make them freely available online in order to remove economic barriers to understanding and appreciating literature.  To view our current CFP, click here. 

​

Critical editions produced by The Critical Editor typically include the following contents:

• Foreword

• Introduction

• Author Chronology

• Biographical Sketch of the Author

• A Note on the Text

• The Annotated Text

• Discussion Questions/Writing Prompts

• Illustrations or Maps (if applicable)

• Manuscript Excerpts

​

If you would like to contribute to an edition of a work for which we are not currently soliciting contributions, please email us at annotatedlibrary@gmail.com to register your interest. We look forward to hearing from you!
