What?
EAPSU sponsors an annual fall conference and co-sponsors a spring conference for undergraduate English majors. Three years ago the EAPSU Executive Committee voted to establish a peer-reviewed online journal, to supplement our conference and its Proceedings. We wanted to continue our practice of allowing just about anyone to present and participate in the conference; however, we also wanted a more competitive, higher-quality venue for scholarly and creative work. EAPSU ONLINE has helped us to accomplish this goal. We have received manuscripts from all over the world and believe that we are able to publish a variety of material that might not have an audience without us. Each submission goes through a blind review process and is sent to two readers initially for input; marginal essays or works are asked to resubmit with revision. So far, in the three years of our publication, we have published approximately 1/3 of the articles, stories, and poems sent to us. As we grow, we will surely become even more competitive.
