Abstract:

In this editorial, I reflect upon my position as the new Editor of Auto/Biography Review and its transition from being solely a print journal to an online one. I consider the cultural biography of the journal as it entwines the embodied lives and professional identities of a community of scholars and illuminates some of the historical and economic forces in the academic publishing landscape. In closing, I suggest editors in a complex exchange economy can make publishing model choices that respond to the responsibilities of upholding the scholarly mission and uniting a community of diverse scholars. Following this, I outline the articles in this first online issue and invite future submissions.
