Submission Guidelines and Format:

Those submitting article manuscripts should prepare them in accordance with the most recent edition of The MLA Style Manual, which encourages the use of intratextual documentation wherever possible and mandates the inclusion of a list of works cited (with full pagination) at the manuscript's end.

All documents should be submitted electronically as Microsoft word attachments to the editor at anthurium.cls@miami.edu, and must be accompanied by a brief biographical sketch.

Critical essays (3,500-6,500 words); poets should submit no more than four poems at a time; fiction writers should submit no more than one story, a maximum of 5,000 words. Book reviews (or short review essays) of 2,000 - 2,500 words are welcome. These should carry a title as well as the book information at the head of the essay. The reviewed book should have been published no more than two years previously.

All documents will be edited for length, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and comprehension. Authors of critical essays and reviews will be consulted electronically with regard to any substantial editing. They will not be consulted regarding copyediting.
