GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS (please read carefully)

APCN accepts analytical reviews of books and films relevant in any way to African conflict or peace. Given our broad view of these subjects, a wide variety of titles are viable, but reviewers must make explicit the peace/conflict implications. 
We accept unsolicited submissions, and prospective reviewers may also request items from our “Titles Available for Review” list (Please refer here).
Title requests must include name, mailing address, institutional affiliation, job title, and/or explanation of reviewer’s qualifications. If you receive a book from APCN, your completed review must be returned within 120 days of its receipt.
