About

Now in its sixth hit season, CBS’s television series The Big Bang Theory is undeniably popular. We also believe the show is culturally significant. Scriblerus Press seeks essays that engage with The Big Bang Theory for an upcoming edited collection. We’re looking for essays that demonstrate a strong voice with a distinct point of view—and that make a focused, original claim about the show and its cultural significance. No plot summaries, reviews, encomiums, or diatribes. We’re also willing to consider memoir-style pieces that engage with The Big Bang Theory in an interesting way, as well as satire or parody, as long as it’s parody that exhibits a nuanced critical distance. Please avoid the use of academic jargon, footnotes, or end notes. The intended audience for the collection is educated readers passionate about popular culture, but not necessarily avid watchers of the show.
