There are several opportunities to submit your scholarly articles on storytelling studies for publication. The most direct venue for your scholarly research is the storytelling studies journal:
Storytelling, Self, Society (SSS)
SSS is the premier storytelling studies journal, publishing scholarship on a wide variety of topics pertaining to storytelling. Storytelling, Self, Society is a biannual, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that publishes scholarship on a wide variety of topics related to storytelling as interpersonal, performance, or public discourse. Papers may represent disciplines including but not limited to storytelling, folklore, cultural studies, communication, English, education, library science, health care, business, peace studies, psychology, sociology, anthropology, pop culture, theater and performance studies. Works of literary criticism will not be considered for publication. However, a variety of items will be considered for review, including print publications, recordings and performances. Published by Taylor Francis/Routledge.
Your membership in SHE includes complementary copies of SSS, which is published biannually with additional special editions. These special copies for SHE members have been made possible through a partnership with and generous donations by the SSS board.
Depending on your area of study, you may find a good fit with other storytelling-friendly publications. Here are a few, with links to their calls for papers:
