Authors

Most articles published in Dialogue are assigned by the editorial staff. However, the editors are interested in contacting possible authors capable of producing well-written articles, interviews, and reports consistent with Dialogue's objectives. Prospective authors are urged to carefully examine previous issues of the journal, and submit an abstract, an outline, and a personal background before developing a proposed article.
