Nonfiction - 3000 words max

Max words: 900

Max words: 3000

Commentaries are opinion pieces on issues of importance, and should be 900-1200 words in length. Essays are longer, more formal think-pieces on subjects like politics, culture, social issues, and education that do not need a topical news peg. These can be philosophical, and even scholarly in tone, and should address big ideas. The length can be anywhere up to 3,000-words. We welcome the work of scholars eager to express their ideas in a non-academic (but-academic-friendly) space. Features are topical think-pieces on subjects like politics, culture, social issues, and education, of 900-1800 words. They should have some connection to current events and the news, or cultural events. They might be news-analysis features, or extensive profiles of prominent artists, writers, activists, etc. While a feature article should have a strong point of view and thesis, it should not be explicitly polemical. It should be well-documented, with interviews and/or references to sources

    Articles should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document (.docx) attachment by email to editor@TheTypescript.com. The Typescript uses University of Chicago style for essays and AP style for news and feature articles. Please use American spellings, and observe the following conventions in prose and non-fiction submissions: Line Spacing: Single-spaced, with a 1-line, or 12-point paragraph space after each paragraph. Please do not insert extra carriage returns between paragraphs. Please do not indent first line. Titles: Book, film, album, and major work titles are italicized. Essay, short story, song, newspaper article, and minor work titles are in quotation marks. Thus: the Adventures of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and “Starman.” Punctuation: Use the Oxford comma, and insert a single space after a period. Hyperlinks: We encourage the use of hyperlinks in articles. Writers should use the insert-link function in Microsoft Word, or type the link text between carat brackets, after the link text. Thus, format a link to The Typescript <http://TheTypescript.com>.
