Hemingway and variants Journal
I produce a twice yearly Journal which is circulated by post to subscribers and the British Library in A4 format. This publication is registered with the Legal Deposit Office and has the ISSN 1467-1166. Details of recent Journals and supplements are shown below. The Autumn 1999, Autumn 2001 and the Autumn 2004 Journals all won the Guild of One-Name Studies award for One-Name Periodicals, which was intended to encourage members to produce newsletters or journals and to produce them to a high standard. Sadly the competition no longer takes place.
The Journal was historically published twice a year with subscriptions being on a July to following June rolling basis. However, from the start of 2008, the subscription year changed to match calendar years - still with two editions in each calendar year posted out in May and October each year.
