Eighteenth Century Fiction publishes articles in both English and French on all aspects of imaginative prose in the period 1700–1800, but will also examine papers on late 17th-century or early 19th-century fiction, particularly when the works are discussed in connection with the eighteenth century.

The text is printed in Caslon, a font based on the designs of William Caslon (1692–1766), who released his first typefaces in 1722. The cover picture changes with each number.

Editorial Policy
The editors invite contributions on all aspects of imaginative prose in the period 1700-1800, but are also happy to consider papers on late seventeenth-century or early nineteenth-century fiction. The languages of publication are English and French. Articles about the fiction of other languages are welcomed and comparative studies are particularly encouraged. The suggested length for manuscripts is 6,000-8,000 words, but longer and shorter articles have been published in the journal.

The Chicago Manual of Style is used for most points in ECF. Articles submitted should be double-spaced, including quotations. Email submissions are encouraged ecf@mcmaster.ca. As ECF evaluates manuscripts anonymously, the author's name ought not to appear on the article itself.
