In 2009 , the Eudora Welty Newsletter will metamorphose into the Eudora Welty Review, an annual journal, published each April beginning in 2009. The Eudora Welty Review will publish additional and lengthier scholarly essays, inaugurate a book review section, and maintain regular features for news and notes, textual analyses, checklists, and new archival materials, still with appropriate illustrative materials. Additional scholars will be invited to assist EWR editors as peer reviewers and members of the Advisory Board.
