Logistics when beginning your academic career. Job searching, interviewing, etc. What they will ask you. What you'll do on an interview. Who to ask what, and when. About negotiating.

Title:Tips for getting published
Facilitators:Steve Ross & Deborah Lowther

One question that came up during this session involved a graduate student and how to assign authorship to a co-authored journal article. Many excellent suggestions were provided on how to approach this issue. For a print resource, look up "Authorship" in the index of the 5th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Guidance on determining authorship is provided.

Scholar as writer: The merits of peer writing groups for academics
Jennifer M. Brill
Virginia Tech
Assistant Professor, Instructional Design & Technology

(Notes, resources, ideas, activities, etc., from this event can be posted here by anyone before, during and after this session.)

"Maybe I'm a slow learner but, it took until my second year in a tenure track faculty position and reading Ann Lamott's book Bird by Bird to realize that I am a writer...and that my business card should probably say that."

Jen Brill's Top Ten Reasons for Joining a Peer Writing Group

To improve your writing.
To complete writing projects. (Stay on a schedule, reach mini-milestones, move forward, get graduated, get published.)
To develop your identity and habits as a writer.
To add a fun, sociable component to the often solitary business of writing.
To develop your abilities to read and critique scholarly/professional writing.
To experience models of how others write, get done, get published.
To garner psychological/emotional support (especially when rejection happens).
To garner writing and publication strategies that have worked for others.
To get writing and writing activities scheduled on your calendar.

To discover new, and often re-invigorating, sources of knowledge.

Jen Brill's Top Ten Recommendations for Folks Forming/Participating in Peer Writing Groups

Get in one today!...Get in one today!...Get in one today!
Develop some (flexible) ground rules for how the group is going to operate; for example, shared, agreed-to:

meeting time, place, location (make it somewhere off-site, comfortable and enjoyable).
submission deadline.
procedures for how the meeting time will be spent.
procedures for how feedback will be exchanged.

Include in your submissions the types of feedback you are currently looking for on a piece.
Commit! Be an active and reliable participant in the group.
Share your best resources (literature, writing tools, writing books, writing strategies, etc.).
Read about writing and writers on your own and share that with the group.
Submit what you committed to on time (or, let people know what’s going on with you and your submission).
Give a new group time to settle in. Also know that not all writing groups work (It’s okay to move on so long as you try again.)
Look for/recruit group members who have a shared goal, focus, motivation – although not necessarily a shared disciplinary/professional focus.
Give thoughtful, substantive, timely, and constructively critical feedback.

Writing Group Rules of Engagement*

“The goal of a writing group is to get people to write.” ~Durst, 1992

Each group member gets 20 minutes devoted to the review and feedback of his/her writing.
For each 20 min cycle:

2 min: author reminds group of purpose and destination of writing and, as needed, directs group to focus on specific portions of writing and/or types of feedback
5 min: each reviewer takes a turn at verbalizing specific reactions to the writing

Verbal feedback should be very specific, focus on the most significant leverage points, and include:

Strengths: What you liked about the writing
Problem Areas: What you found distracting, divergent, or difficult to understand
Improvements: How you think the writing could be improved

3 min: author closes out his/her time by:

ensuring his/her understanding of feedback through clarifying comments/questions
setting the direction for his/her next writing session by summarizing top priorities and next steps
collecting written feedback from reviewers

Tips

Do not treat feedback session like a discussion
Reviewers speak more, author speaks less
Someone other than author keeps time and gives “one minute warnings”
Author: Listen. Do not take feedback personally. Do not defend your work. Later, you will keep the best, discard the rest.

*Adapted by Jen Brill from:

Durst, R. K. (1992). A writer’s community: How teachers can form writing groups. In K. L. Dahl (Ed.),
Teacher as writer: Entering the professional conversation. Urbana, IL: National Council of Teachers of English.
