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. This year essays on "Migration" will be considered for publication during Fall 2010 and should be sent electronically via attachment in Microsoft Word by March 31, 2010, to Jenifer S. Cushman, 2009 President, at the M/MLA's new email address, mmla@luc.edu.

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.
