Like Maryann, I was one mucked to the max in academic scholarship. In my field, American Literature, there were only a few scholars unaffiliated with a U. Maybe narrowing it down to an author, genre, or period will help. It's going to be a tough sell if you're not affiliated.
You might send out a round of query letters to major journals--PMLA, American Literature, New England Quarterly, Modern Philology, English Language Notes, and others. The Reviews are more for the "man of letters," undocumented essay, such as Sewanee Review, Southern Review, Georgia Review, et al.
Good luck,
