The Journal of Popular Romance Studies invites reviews from scholars (including grad students, independent scholars, teaching and research staff) in the fields of literature, history, sociology, cultural studies, popular culture, women’s and gender studies, and philosophy.

Published regularly since 2010, the Journal of Popular Romance Studies is an Open Access, double-blind peer reviewed interdisciplinary journal exploring popular romance fiction and the logics, institutions, and social practices of romantic love in global popular culture, including TV, film, popular music, gaming, advice literature, material culture, and more.

Book reviews in JPRS can be short (approx 800 words) or longer omnibus pieces (approx. 3500 words) discussing several works at once. Reviews are published on a rolling basis. Pieces will be lightly edited for style and content. Reviewers will usually receive a complimentary copy of the book they have reviewed (electronic or print).
