Welcome to the African American Review online manuscript submission and review system.

African American Review (AAR) is a refereed journal that publishes critical essays on African American literature, film, fine and performing arts, and culture generally; interviews; "Forgotten Manuscripts" columns; poetry; fiction; and book reviews.

Authors must submit all manuscripts electronically. Please prepare them in accordance with the most recent edition of The MLA Style Manual, which encourages the use of intratextual documentation and mandates the inclusion of works cited list at the manuscript's end.

Critical essays should fall in the range of 6000-8500 words, excluding Notes and Works Cited; and creative submissions should not exceed 3000 words. Poets should submit no more than six works at a time; multiple poems should be bundled into a single submission. Fiction writers should submit one work at a time.

**Please note: AAR does not consider previously published works or simultaneous submissions.**

Inquiries regarding book review assignments should be sent to Book Review Editor William J. Maxwell at wmaxwell@wustl.edu. Review copies should be mailed to Dr. William J. Maxwell, Book Review Editor - AAR, Washington University in St. Louis, English Department, CB 1122, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO. 63130.
