Manuscripts may be submitted as hardcopy in triplicate, by e-mail as attached files, or by disk. Disk and attached file versions should be in WordPerfect 6.1 or earlier. Disks and manuscripts are nonreturnable. The author's name, affiliation, address (including e-mail), and phone number should appear only on a separate cover page so as to ensure anonymity during the refereeing process. Include on the cover page an abstract of the article and a four or five sentence biographical statement. All material, including notes and block quotations, should be double-spaced.
Send manuscripts to either editor óDennis McPherson or Lee Hester. Addresses are on the inside front cover.
An IBM floppy disk in WordPerfect 6.1 or earlier, or an attached e-mail file in one of those formats, must be provided with the final revised version of an accepted manuscript. Disks are nonreturnable. Keep hidden codes to a minimum. For example, do not change fonts or margin settings when introducing block quotes or footnotes. Use the paragraph indent function for block quotes, the footnote function for footnotes, and the hanging indent function for entries in the Works Cited section.
Other matters of style: Consult the MLA Handbook or a copy of this journal.
Ayaangwaamizin will depart from MLA guidelines in the following ways: (1) Either italics (which the Handbook stipulates) or single quotation marks may be used when a word is mentioned (rather than used). Example of the latter convention: The word ëword' was first used and then mentioned in this sentence. (2) Where the Handbook calls for a short version of the title of a work in an internal citation (i.e., when more than one work by the same author is cited in the paper) the date of publication is to be used instead. (3) In the Works Cited section the date of publication is placed after the author's name, and when more than one work is cited by a single author, works are arranged in order of publication dateówith the most recent publication listed firstórather than alphabetically.
