Articles (6,000-10,000 words): Articles should speak to the broad interests of the MLS subscribers. We are particularly interested in, and welcome submissions of, unpublished letters; annotated writers' notebooks or other primary documents of literary historical interest; edited and annotated translations of poems, short stories, and plays by writers in literatures of the modern languages; and interviews with writers and artists.
Profession & Pedagogy (4,000-7,000): Profession & Pedagogy articles may address pedagogical theory, practical teaching strategies, faculty/student collaboration, curriculum development, information technology, small college/research university dynamics, interdisciplinary work, institutional politics, graduate and faculty unionization, part-time faculty, tenure and promotion, and other related topics. Creative non-fiction that explores and dramatizes similar terrain, and that observes and articulates what is at stake in these issues for people and communities, is also welcome.
Reviews (2,000-5,000): Reviews must be of significant, intriguing, or unusual primary and secondary source materials. These reviews will assess and underscore those materials' importance either for various research profiles or for curricula and classroom syllabi. Of particular interest for this section are short reviews of scholarly editions, hypertext/internet literatures, visual culture, popular culture, and, of course, novels, short stories, poetry, plays, films, comic books, and creative non-fiction.
