This printed and online peer-reviewed journal publishes critical essays, book-reviews, short stories, interviews, photographs, art, and poetry. The Summer 2010 Issue, "New and Old Historical Perspectives on Literature," is available for sale through Amazon CreateSpace (click on link to go to the page where you can purchase the issue). Starting with this Summer Issue, PLJ will no longer be available for free, as open-access journal on this website. It will continue to be available through the EBSCO database in full-text for another year and a half. Your support of this independent project through your purchase of a paper copy is greatly appreciated. It is listed in the MLA International Bibliography, the MLA Directory of Periodicals, Genamics JournalSeek, Duotrope's Digest, and the Electronic Collection of Library and Archives Canada. The journal joined the Council of Editors of Learned Journals, and the third issue will be displayed on the CELJ table at the January, 2011 MLA Convention in Los Angeles, where the editor was accepted to present her research and chair a panel. The business is registered in Pennsylvania. An "In Brief" article about the Journal, by the Editor, was published in the November/December 2009 Issue of the D-Lib Magazine. A scholarly essay on the journal and on online publishing appeared in Peer English (UK).

The Pennsylvania Literary Journal is created to make a positive contribution to literary criticism and literature around the world. The first Summer Issue, "Experiments," and the second Winter Issue, "Politics and Literature" are available for free--click on the links below to access them. The call for papers is listed in the issue that it is for, until the deadline to submit works for the issue passes. If you want to self-print one of the first two issues, you can take a PDF file to Staples and order to have it printed double-sided with book or ring binding. A back and a front cover is attached to the Winter 2009 issue’s site. Check the Announcements page to see the newest updates.
