TO: Authors working on journal articles
RE: "Chat with an Editor" at MLA update
There is still time and plenty of space to sign up for the Council
of Editors of Learned Journals "Chat with an Editor" program at this
year's MLA Convention in New Orleans. It was a tremendous success last
year; many of those who participated said to us, "You should offer this
again!" And so we are.
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 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. Last year, half of the advisees were graduate
students and half were assistant professors and other postdocs.
CHAT WITH AN EDITOR
about:
--shaping an article submission
--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 Friday or Saturday, December 28 or
