All manuscripts must conform to the most recent MLA Handbook, with parenthetical documentation, minimal or no endnotes, and a Works Cited page. Copies of manuscripts are normally submitted electronically only. Please use Microsoft Vista and make sure to include a cover letter that contains your name, university affiliation, email, and phone.
