The electronic peer-reviewed English Studies Forum seeks innovative
creative and critical writing. The editors of ESF want to feature engaging
critical essays, as well as truly creative and experimental
work—fiction, poetry, and nonfiction—that takes formal risks.

The editors are currently soliciting manuscripts for a forum on "Play."
This forum will explore the diverse meanings of play in our lives.
Manuscripts might examine (or enact) textual play, as well as
manifestations of games, sport, leisure, and/or laughter as part of
culture.

The "Play" forum is scheduled to debut in our May 2004 issue. ESF will
publish its inaugural issue in January 2004, but the editors plan to
regularly update existing forum sites and we will continue to accept
submissions for all forum sites, including:

• The Postmodern Imagination and Beyond
• Image, Story, and Conversation

Each issue of ESF will include 10-20 substantial reviews of fiction,
poetry, drama, creative nonfiction, theory, and/or criticism. Books
reviewed may (but need not) engage with a featured forum. Interested
reviewers should contact the editor with a cv and description of their
interests.

Electronic submissions (MS Word) are preferred. Critical papers should
conform to M.L.A. style and include a bibliography, if appropriate.
