The Institute for Comics Studies conducts scholarly sessions that meet in conjunction with several major fan conventions throughout the nation.

Which meeting is your submission for?

Multiple submissions are welcome, but we now receive more submissions than we can accept. If we must exclude you from a convention, we would prefer to let you present at your first choice. Therefore, if submitting to more than one of these conventions, please indicate which convention is your first choice in the space below.

In parentheses after each co-presenter's name, tell us that person's email address.
   If you have co-presenters, please add a short parenthetical note after each co-presenter's name to state how each will contribute to the scholarly presentation. The number of professional passes may be limited. We might need to contact you for additional information regarding co-presenter contributions.
    
 
   What you call your paper is up to you, but we may have to shorten lengthier titles when entering them in the conference program.
  
   Method of presentation:

Check all acceptable methods, as many or as few options as you like. Please keep in mind that, due to time constraints, we cannot guarantee acceptance if you check only one option. In the past, Wizard World has given us 50 minutes per panel session.
 
Poster 
Book talk (presentation of newly published book)
 

If you checked more than one method, which would you prefer? 
   Please note that when we receive too many submissions, some who submit for oral presentations simply must be assigned to make poster presentations or participate on panels that follow round table discussion format.
    
    
 
    
 
    
   Will you need an acceptance letter to be mailed to you in addition to our e-mail confirmation? 
 
 
 
    
 
    
 
   The convention can provide a VCR, boom box, slide projector, and PowerPoint projector.
They do not provide slide trays or computers. PowerPoint is easiest to use.
   Will you do a book signing? 
 
 
 
 
 
   If yes, enter your information for one book: 
    
    
    
    
    
  

If your paper is accepted, do not pay for convention registration UNLESS you are submitted for Dragon*Con. Dragon*Con requires that the presenters pay to register.If you have already paid to attend one of the conventions other than Dragon*Con, we may be able to get that payment refunded to you. Presenters attend the other fan conventions with professional passes, with no registration fee for our academic conference or the associated fan convention.
You MIGHT also bring a guest who can attend with free registration, although this may vary from year to year. A guest pass may not be sold or otherwise transferred to anyone other than the individual whose name appears on it. 
   Number of guests attending with you: 
 
 
 
 
    
    
   If you are bringing more than one guest, please e-mail us at comicsstudies@gmail.com with your extra guests' information so we can see if other presenters are willing to register your guests as their own, subject to convention organizers' approval. If a specific meeting's Call for Papers does not mention guess passes, we do NOT promise we can get one, much less an extra one, but we will ask for you. 
 Scheduling constraints:
If there are any days when you cannot present at the conference, please specify in this box which days you can NOT attend.
