The new editorial board of Studies in American Fiction invites submissions of essays that offer innovative and path-breaking perspectives on American fiction. Under a new partnership with Johns Hopkins University Press and Project MUSE, SAF will continue to feature peer-reviewed essays, with the enhanced circulation and visibility of JHUP and MUSE. Since its founding in 1973 at Northeastern University, SAF has been the only scholarly journal devoted entirely to American fiction, publishing high quality essays focused on a wide range of canonical and non-canonical authors. In its new format, SAF will maintain its commitment to publishing exciting new work on writers ranging from Susanna Rowson to Toni Morrison, while also emphasizing forms of writing that do not conform to traditional genres and forms. We welcome essays that define the terms "American" and "fiction" broadly, by interrogating and redrawing both generic and geographical boundaries. We especially welcome submissions on emergent writers and canons, as well as neglected and rediscovered writers from North America's colonial past to the United States' globalized present.

Studies in the Literary Imagination is a biannual scholarly journal focusing on special topics in literature. SLI enjoys a worldwide audience with contributing editors and authors who are considered the leaders in their fields. SLI is unique among scholarly journals in that it relies on an editorial committee to review proposals from potential guest editors, who then invite scholars to contribute articles exploring different aspects of a particular theme. One of the favorable distinctions resulting from this practice is that each issue is topic driven; in this sense, SLI serves more as a monograph series than as a typical journal.
