French Forum

• As of Fall 2016, a wait of about 9-12 months from submission to response.
• About a month and a half from submission to an acceptance with revisions to address reviewers' comments. Backlog of articles means 1 year+ from acceptance to publication

French Review

• Very fast response (less than two weeks) with general, but still helpful comments

French Studies (Oxford UP)

• Is anyone able to share recent information/experience regarding time from submission to decision?
• I submitted an article here in June 2015-heard back in 4 weeks with one reader's report and a conditional acceptance. Made revisions and heard back again in 4 weeks, the essay appeared in print in January 2016. A very rapid and helpful experience.
• I submitted to French Studies at the end of June 2017. Still waiting to hear back, but it's only been 2 months.

Nineteenth-Century French Studies

• Lightning fast initial review (1 week or so) for a decisive rejection. The blind reviewer's comments were, however, quite helpful, and the piece was published elsewhere in about a year's time.
• Rejected a year after the initial submission. However, the 3 reviews were quite helpful.

Romanic Review

• Helpful comments from reviewers, even though the article was rejected after about six months.
