Friday's academic writing tip
Length of a submission
While a journal's word count can flex, it is wise to stay within the limits at the time of initial submission. ECF = 6,000-8,000 words. Since ECF discourages discursive footnotes, please don't use those for your extra words.
As well, the ECF Editors want to publish as many authors as possible, so can only rarely we accept long articles because they take up the work, time, and space of two regular articles.

Thank you for reading the journal at Project MUSE. ReadECF

Friday's academic writing tip
Remember: an abstract is a spoiler, not a teaser.
Even at the submission stage, include an intriguing and clear abstract. That brief paragraph could convince the perfect reviewer to report on your manuscript.
See the ECF guidelines for abstract-writing tips:

Friday's academic writing tip:
R&R letters -- If a journal editor sends a letter offering a "revise and resubmit," they are very interested in reconsidering your essay.
Work with the reviewers' reports, ask the editor for advice, and revise, revise, revise.
Many R&Rs at ECF turn into eventual acceptances.
