Submission
Instructions: Students
We seek essays
(usually
500 – 1,500 words in length and a bit less formal in tone than our
articles)
and articles (usually 2,000 – 10,000 words in length). Please
review
this site and examine past articles to get a sense of whether your
submission
is appropriate for this journal before submitting your work to bpeabody@fdu.edu or gadsden@fdu.edu.
We do not
review work that
has been previously published elsewhere, in part or whole - unless you
receive explicit permission from the editors, in advance. All
work
submitted to Lexicon, must be original; by submitting to Lexicon, a
student
is affirming that the submission is solely the student's (and any
co-authors')
product.
We will
acknowledge receipt
of your submission within 10 days of receiving it. If you
do
not hear from us in this time, please contact us or resubmit your
document.
Students
wishing to submit
their work to Lexicon should adhere to the following
instructions.
Mistakes or missing information may delay or even prevent your work
from
being reviewed. Sample submission.

first page of your
essay should contain
