Philament is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes scholarship by postgraduates and early-career academics on literature, cultural studies, and the arts. I have been managing editor of the journal since 2016, so it’s a thrill to publish the journal’s 25th volume and at the same time launch a new website at www.philamentjournal.com. Both the volume and the website have been almost a year in the making. I am grateful to the talented web designer Elle Williams for designing and realising the site. I’m also very pleased to have designed, with Elle, the new journal layout, which features sidenotes—an attribute I’ve always admired in journals such as Screen. I will continue to develop the journal for the foreseeable future.
