Writing Class in Spring 2025 with Professor Libby Garland
Our own Professor Libby Garland is teaching a class at the Writing Center this semester and would love to welcome some History folks! See the course description below:
Writing the Article (PDEV 79409)
This course is designed to help you understand and navigate the process of publishing academic journal articles. Whether you are grappling with how to turn a seminar or conference paper into an article, working through a “revise and resubmit,” or just wanting to get a better sense of how academic journal publishing works, this course will offer practical guidance and support. We will talk about the concrete steps in the article publishing process, from how to find the best journals for your work, to the nuts and bolts of submitting your manuscript, to how to deal with readers’ reports and requests for revisions. We will also discuss how to get from ideas, papers, or drafts to finished, polished journal articles, and you will have the opportunity to workshop writing in progress. The syllabus will be developed in consultation with students, so that it is tailored to the particular questions and projects participants bring to the group.
Professor: Libby Garland
