When preparing a manuscript for publication, we are faced with at least two kinds of revision: inward and outward. In other words, some of our revision is spurred by our reading closely and making our own changes. Other kinds of revision are spurred by reader feedback. Both are tough reflective activities but are central to scholarly productivity.
Come and learn some tips for working the cyclical relationship between writing and revision.

Few things are as opaque but vitally important than intellectual property—especially in the increasing digital age in which we live, teach, and write. The Framers of the Constitution granted Congress the ability to secure “for Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their Respective Writings and Discoveries.”
Terri Bell, Sr. Library Assistant/Copyright Compliance, will join us to consider what your need to know about intellectual property for your writing and what “Writings and Discoveries” mean for your field.

We do a lot of stuff: teach classes, sit on committees, browse through recent journals in our field. And we have a lot of our own text on our computers and in file folders: a dissertation, thesis, seminar papers from grad school, lecture notes, conference talks. In this workshop, we give concrete advice for carving a journal article from the mountain of professional live. Writing a journal article doesn’t need to start from scratch. Most of what you need, you already have.

This workshop will be available via video teleconference on four campuses.  Faculty on the Blue Ridge Campus who wish to participate may contact Micheal Rifenburg to arrange a face to face meeting during which they can review workshop materials with a Blue Ridge faculty member.
