Works that incorporate either or both humanities and social science approaches to scholarship are welcome.

- SPAG - Society for the Preservation of Adventure Games - call for reviews and interviews in Interactive Fiction
- Reviews, letters and ratings should be sent by email to Jimmy Maher, [email protected]. ASCII text format is preferred, but MS Word and other formats will be accepted as attachments. If in doubt, query first.
A SPAG review should be an intelligent discussion of a piece of interactive fiction, and it should be written in polished prose. Within those guidelines, all publishable reviews will be accepted as long as they deal with a game that satisfies a (rather broad) definition of “text adventure” or “interactive fiction”. Reviews of games that have already been reviewed three or more times in SPAG will only be accepted if they make a significant original contribution to the discussion of those games. Authors may not review their own games.
SPAG employs a “no-spoiler” policy for reviews, with the exception of reviews intended for SPAG Specifics (see below). This policy has been stretched a bit in the past, but now that SPAG Specifics exists, the no- spoiler policy will be enforced rather more strictly.
SPAG Specifics is a small section that appears in some issues of SPAG. This section is devoted to in-depth criticism of text adventures and has no restrictions on spoilers, recognizing that avoidance of spoilers can sometimes hinder the detailed examination of a piece of interactive fiction. Specifics reviews are required to provide in-depth analysis to justify their use of spoilers.
SPAG also occasionally publishes articles. If you’d like to submit an article for the next issue of SPAG, query first.
SPAG does not pay anything for contributions. Authors retain the rights to their works. SPAG accepts reviews that have been published before, but original works are preferred.
