TO: Authors working on journal articles
RE: "Chat with an Editor" at MLA
For the past three years, in an effort to meet the needs of aspiring
academic authors, the Council of Editors of Learned Journals, an Allied
Organization of MLA, has sponsored "Chat with an Editor" at the MLA
Convention. With so many requests from editors and authors to keep this
program going, CELJ will offer this opportunity again at this year's MLA
Convention in San Diego, in the Sails Pavilion of the San Diego Convention
Center (booths 111 and 113).
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 and
independent scholars.
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
MAKING YOUR RESERVATION
To reserve a free 20-minute meeting time on Sunday or Monday, December 28
or 29, between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., contact Michael Cornett at
mcornett@aas.duke.edu. Supply your name, affiliation, and position
(graduate student, asst. prof., independent scholar, etc.), and indicate
three times in order of preference, or indicate that any time is okay.
You will receive confirmation of your meeting time later in December when
the schedule is finalized. Once the schedule is full, a wait list will be
made, and these advisees will be given meeting times as cancellations
create new openings. Reservations must be made before Dec. 20, but because
of the huge popularity of this program, it is advisable to make your
reservation as soon as possible. Please, only make a reservation if you
are certain of keeping it.
N.B.: To be able to enter the MLA Book Exhibit area, participants must
either be registered for the MLA Convention or obtain a day pass to the
exhibit area for $10.00. Otherwise you will not be let in.
