The Journal of the Midwest Modern Language Association is published twice a year as a service to M/MLA members, who are encouraged to submit essays and book reviews.

The spring issue each year is devoted to shorter "working papers," and the M/MLA invites submissions of 12-15 pages drawing from 12-15 sources, due each year on 12/15.

The fall issue is devoted to the previous year's convention theme, which is announced in advance on the web site and in the Journal. The annual deadline for these more developed submissions (not exceeding 8,000 words in length) is March 31. The topic for the Fall 2008 issue will be "Revisiting Realisms."

If you would like to submit an essay, send three copies (two formatted for blind reading) to the M/MLA office. Papers should follow the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 6th ed. (2003). To ensure that the Journal is accessible to the broad membership, essays should be in English and, when text in other language is quoted, translations in English should be provided. PMLA is a useful source for examples of how to provide translations in MLA style.

Current members automatically receive a subscription to the Journal. Back issues (subject to availability) are $7.50 each, or $6 if six or more of the same issue are ordered. To purchase back issues, send a check or money order in US funds to the M/MLA office. Be sure to specify the issue(s) and quantity requested.
