We seek intelligent critical articles written in
a clear, readable style that offer our
readers thoughtful, useful, pedagogically
sound, and innovative ideas to teach
American literature.

We publish five to six articles of 2500 to
9000 words in each online issue of TAL,
which appears quarterly. Brief book
reviews and articles of fewer than 2500
words for our "How Do You Do It?" feature
also are welcome. Currently, we are
accepting books for review for our Fall
2009 issue.

We have a blind review process, but our
in-house editors make all final decisions
regarding publication.  Our articles will be
indexed in the usual databases in the near
future.
Please submit manuscripts
electronically, as attachments,
to: Patricia.Bostian@cpcc.edu
Use only one space after a period
and use italics for titles.

Fall 2009 Issue: The deadline for
manuscript submission is
December  15, 2009.
