In October 2006 I proposed the founding of ''The Mailer Review'' to members of The [[Norman Mailer Society]] at its annual meeting in Provincetown, Massachusetts. I had been thinking about a scholarly journal devoted to the life and work of [[Norman Mailer]] for a number of years, but the time was not right until this meeting. Norman Mailer supported the concept of a journal in his name and conditions were right to make the proposal. (Mailer had no editorial or financial relationship with the ''Review''.)

I wasn’t sure if the membership would approve the journal or vote down my proposal, but I never doubted the critical importance of the project, knowing full well that a “yes” vote meant thousands of hours of work over the coming years. (I underestimated the time.) The proposal was unanimously approved.

A special debt of gratitude goes to Cary Sipiora, my wife of thirty years and a most enthusiastic supporter of The Mailer Review. My appreciation goes far beyond mere words.
