Secret Editors’ Business: What No One Tells You About Getting an Article Published – Sept 11, 2025

Session Description

International Consortium of Centres for Early Modern Studies (ICCEMS) is proud to present the second online workshop of our series Tacit Knowledge for Higher Degree and Early Career Researchers. This session, “Secret Editors’ Business: What No One Tells You About Getting an Article Published” will be hosted by Prof Rosalind Smith (ANU) and Prof Emma Smith (Hertford College, Oxford).

When: Thursday 11th September, 4am ET (see here for other timezones)

Overview: The process of getting your work published in journals can be mysterious and intimidating. What happens to your article after you submit it to a journal? What can you do to maximise your chances of winning over editors and reviewers and seeing your work out in the world? In this ICCEMS Tacit Knowledge Workshop two journal editors, Professor Rosalind Smith (General Editor, Parergon) and Professor Emma Smith (Editor, Shakespeare Survey) will spill the beans about aspects of journal publishing that no-one talks about directly, from submission, reviewer reports, responses and publishing through to becoming a reviewer yourself and even a journal editor. The workshop will include a Q&A session where you can have your own questions answered.
