Dear Anthurium Readers,

We are writing to inform our community that the Fall/Spring 2011 special issue of Anthurium on Bahamian Literature has been published.  This special issue features criticism, poetry, fiction and interviews with writers from the Bahamas and is guest edited by Ian Strachan and Marjorie Brooks-Jones.

Anthurium is in the process of transitioning to a new home at Berkley Electronic Press (bepress).  This change in our digital platform will give the journal a more user friendly PDF format which will be in step with print journal formats. The new issue is available at: http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/anthurium/

Back issues of Anthurium will be migrated into the Berkeley Electronic Press over the next six months.  In the meantime the back issues will continue to be available at: http://anthurium.miami.edu/

The new publishing format will affect how submissions to Anthurium are managed. ALL SUBMISSIONS WILL HAVE TO BE MADE ONLINE THROUGH THE ANTHURIUM BE PRESS PAGE. The new submissions process will allow the editors and reviewers to respond to submissions in a more timely fashion and will also give authors access to style guides for this new publishing format.  Persons submitting essays, poems, reviews, interviews and fiction will need to create an account before submitting. This account will allow you to follow the submissions and review process and it is the account through which you will receive reader's reports, updates from the editors, and all other correspondence regarding your submission.

Anthurium users will also have access to other bepress journals and we encourage you to explore their offerings.

We look forward to hearing from you about the new format and the new issue.

Sincerely,

Patricia J. Saunders
Senior Editor
