Contributors are asked to ensure their identities are not revealed in any way within their paper and that the paper is not submitted to other publications during the review process with craft + design enquiry and Craft Australia. (See Submissions/ Author Guidelines.) If favourably reviewed, and at the discretion of the craft + design enquiry editorial team and Craft Australia, the paper will be published in craft + design enquiry e-journal.
