The ALAN Review

The Assembly publishes The ALAN Review three times each year (fall, winter, and spring) with a current circulation of 2,500. The journal contains articles on YA literature and its teaching, interviews with authors, reports on publishing trends, current research on YA literature, a section of reviews of new books, and ALAN membership news. An Electronic Archive of Past Issues is available.

Submitting the Manuscript. Beginning with the Fall 2009 issue, manuscripts should be submitted electronically to alanreview [at] lsu [dot] edu.  In the subject line please write: manuscript submission. All manuscripts should be composed and submitted in a recent version of Microsoft Word.  Complete submissions include as attachments the following documents: (1) A complete manuscript with page numbers, but without references to the author(s).  (2) A separate title page with author’s names, contact information, affiliation, and a short professional biographical sketch.  In the case of multiple authors, the submitting email address will be considered the primary contact unless stipulated otherwise.  And, (3) a brief statement that the article is original and has not been published previously in other journals and/or books.

New Section
Got a story about young adult literature you’d like to share? We are starting a new section featuring brief vignettes (no more than 300 words) from practicing teachers and librarians who would like to share their interactions with students, parents, colleagues, and administrators with YA literature.
