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
, as are books for review.  We have a blind
review process, but our in-house editors make all final decisions regarding publication.  


The journal is indexed by Ebscohost's Education Research Complete.  It also
will be
indexed in the usual databases in the near future.
