As many of you know, because of a change in business editor and problems with distribution, JFA is behind by a full year. At the current time, JFA 15.1 (Spring 2004) is finished and back from the printer; JFA 15.2 (Summer 2004) is at the printer; JFA 15.3 (Fall 2004) is in galleys and should be at the printer in two to three weeks. We currently have all the essays needed for JFA 15.4 (Winter 2004) and are waiting for three or four more book reviews before we can go to galleys.

We apologize for the delays, and anyone with subscription problems should contact me as soon as possible.

Contents:

JFA 16.2 is slated to be a special issue on the fiction of Patricia McKillip.

We would hope to produce and mail these 6 issues in the next 6 months. Carl Boehm has joined the staff as business manager and is catching up on production.

We are interested in an assistant business manager, and Fiona Kelleghan, our book reviews editor, would welcome an assistant book reviews editor to help with the workload. Anyone interested should speak to me.
