The Association Blog

Please send any potential blog posts to Keli Masten and Benjamin Parris at ICFABlogs@gmail.com.

General Blog Guidelines:

Blog posts should be short ‘think pieces’ of around 500 to 1,000 words relating to any topic concerning crime fiction and the broader scope of its study. Longer posts will be considered within reason, including blog series on particular topics. Please include an Author Biography of approximately 150 words and a short reference list in the MLA 8th style.

We particularly welcome reviews of contemporary cross-media crime fiction and how they relate to the wider study of the genre, posts on underrepresented crime fiction authors and pieces that consider the changes and developments of the genre in reflection of contemporary political, social, and cultural issues.

Please ensure that posts are grammatically correct, well-written, and in a conversational or less formal tone. We accept posts from academics at any level and particularly encourage early-career researchers in disseminating their research. 

Social Media

Please send any potential social media posts (Call for Papers, etc.) to Emily Farmer at icfasocial@gmail.com.
