Dear Magic History Experts, Scholars, and Enthusiasts:

As you may be aware, the New England Magic Collectors Association produces a high-quality book-length journal with articles on magic history every even-numbered year—often from the perspective of contemporary curators of magic history: the magic collector.

We have been blessed over the years to feature some of the finest writers in magic presenting original scholarship of interest to all magic historians. We look forward to continuing our relationship with such magical scholars and it is our hope to either welcome you back, or add your name to the list of contributors of The Yankee Magic Collector #21.

If you’ve written (or are considering writing) a biography, bibliography, tribute, review, interview or essay, or other non-fiction material relating to magic history, please consider submitting your work to be published in the November 2024 issue. We hope that you will be interested in sharing your scholarship with our readers. We have already received early submissions from three individuals and we look forward to working with them and you!

Issue #21 will once again see color printing throughout (of submitted color images) and we hope to feature material from lectures presented at previous Yankee Gatherings.

If your work is accepted for publication we will feature your bio on the Contributors page, along with any links or other information you’d like to include. If you have a book or website, we can help you promote it in this way. Authors who attend The Yankee Gathering will be recognized on the opening night and all authors will receive a personalized special edition “Author’s Copy” of The Yankee Magic Collector #21 that features a distinct cover from the standard edition.

Submissions are preferred via our 2024 Google Submission Form (click on text to open). E-mail and mail may be possible, but please contact ymceditor@gmail.com prior to submission. Here is a link to our submission guidelines and a link to our helpful STYLE GUIDE. Our deadline for submissions is July 1st, 2024 but we welcome submissions at any time.

Finally, we are asking for your help. We are looking to expand the pool of authors, so if you know of up-and-coming individuals who are passionate about magic history and might be ready to take the first steps of sharing their research through print, please invite them to submit.

Thank you for your interest and consideration, we look forward to presenting your work in the next issue of The Yankee Magic Collector.

Sincerely,

Andrew Pinard
Editor
