Irreantum CoverIrreantum was founded by Christopher Bigelow in March 1999, succeeding the AML Newsletter, which was published 1977–1998. Christopher Bigelow and Benson Parkinson were the first managing editors. The magazine was subtitled Magazine of the Association for Mormon Letters, and was published quarterly. Parkinson stepped down after Summer 2000, and Bigelow continued as managing editor until 2004. Laraine Wilkins was editor from 2004, renamed the magazine Irreantum: A Review of Mormon Literature and Film, and changed the publication schedule from four issues to three, and then to two, annually. Valerie Holladay and Scott Hatch were co-editors from October 2006. In April 2008, Holladay stepped down, and Hatch soon followed her. Angela Hallstorm became the editor by early 2009. In 2010, Jack Harrell joined Hallstorm as editor, and they alternated issues. In 2011, Hallstorm stepped down, and Josh Allen joined Harrell as an editor. The journal ceased print publication in 2013.
