I'm sorry I can't provide you with specific journals, but I can link you to some resources that can help you to find some journals that are appropriate to the subject of your thesis. http://humanitiesjournals.wikia.com/wiki/Literary_Studies_Journals This is something you might want to check out in order to start narrowing down the journals that might find your topic suitable for publication. At the very least, this wiki provides lists of journals that are broken down into different categories, so you can start visiting the webpages of the journals you find the most appropriate and begin checking out their submission guidelines. This can be a helpful source too for hearing about other people's experiences with submitting to particular journals. https://journalreviews.princeton.edu/journals-reviewed/ This is a similar and equally helpful source to check out. Another thing I like to plug because it has helped me so much in the past is this workbook: https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Your-Journal-Twelve-Weeks/dp/141295701X Going from thesis to article can pose a bit of a challenge, especially depending on the expectations and guidelines of particular journals. This book has some helpful tips for managing that stressful and often rocky terrain. One last thing-- A way I like to find potential journals to publish in is by going through the bibliography of my paper to see the names of journals that similar scholarship is often published to. Once I narrow down a list of 5 or so, I look at the past 5 years of the journal's publication history to see if my potential article might be a good fit with the direction the journal is headed in. Hope this helps!

I can't recommend Belcher's Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks. It's a fantastic resource and is fashioned more like a workbook that works you through each step of the article writing process. When I was writing and revising my first article, I found Belcher's timeline of what you should be doing each week to write/prepare the article so useful. It made the whole process seem so much more manageable.

Thank you both for your responses! @maxhgns I'll keep all of your wonderful advice with me as I move forward.

Hi all, I am in the process of submitting an article for consideration at a Women's Studies journal and had a question about writing the cover letter that they are requesting. The journal is requesting a cover note with contact info and an abstract. As a graduate student, should I write my cover letter on my university's letterhead, or should I make my own? I'm thinking the latter, as the university letterhead has my department's mailing address, but I want to provide the journal with my personal mailing address for correspondence purposes. I've gotten conflicting information about grad students using university letterhead for anything other than job letters. In one case, I heard that university letterhead should be used for all academic letters, whether it is for a journal or job market. If you have any valuable advice about submitting a cover letter with a prospective journal article in the humanities, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I've heard really great things about Christopher Pizzino over at UGA. From what I've heard from friends that are undergrads/grads there, he teaches undergrad comics theory courses and image theory at the grad level and incorporates a lot of comics stuff there as well.
