> |
> | In an effort to meet the needs of aspiring academic authors,
> | the Council of Editors of Learned Journals, an Allied Organization of
> | MLA, is offering a new service at this year's MLA Convention: "Chat
> | with an Editor." The service gives scholars, especially younger ones, the
> | opportunity to meet one-on-one with an experienced editor to discuss any
> | aspect of the publication process. It is not an article vetting service,
> | but rather a chance for would-be authors to obtain advice on any aspect
> | of writing, submitting, and publishing a journal article, in a neutral
> | and friendly atmosphere. Advisors and advisees will meet at a cafe-type
> | table at the CELJ booth in the Book Exhibit area.

> | CHAT WITH AN EDITOR

> | --selecting a publisher
> | --drafting a cover letter
> | --following style guides
> | --corresponding with editors
> | --ethical dilemmas
> | --and other issues in journal publishing
> |
> | To reserve a 20-minute meeting time on Thursday or Friday, December 28 or
> | 29, contact Michael Cornett at mcornett@aas.duke.edu.
