inside english invites articles, reviews, and other writing of interest to
instructors of English in two-year colleges, as  well as letters in response
to articles or on issues of concern to English faculty. Poetry is also

"Best Practices," "Department Chairs,"  "Part-Time Faculty  Concerns," and
"One Good Idea" (describing a single classroom technique or approach).
Articles should be twelve to fifteen  double-spaced typed pages (3,000-3,500
words); reviews, five pages (1,500 words); and letters, one page.
