THE WRITING PROCESS(for me)
� PREWRITING� DRAFTING � REVISING
![Page 41: Winds Of Change: Writing For Publication](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030317/5a663f237f8b9afe4c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
PREWRITING
� Topic / Audience / Purpose� Brainstorming / Freewriting� Outlining / Listing / Organizing� Questioning� Concept map
![Page 42: Winds Of Change: Writing For Publication](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030317/5a663f237f8b9afe4c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
DRAFTING
� What works best for you?� Do you have to write to see what you
think or do you write in your head?� Do you need to wait until you are
“ready” and then write a “clean” draft or do you write multiple drafts?
![Page 43: Winds Of Change: Writing For Publication](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030317/5a663f237f8b9afe4c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
REVISING� Meaning: Evaluate claims & evidence.� Purpose: Evaluate audience.� Organization: Evaluate order / logic.� Style: Word choice / tone / syntax.� Clarity: Look for wordiness/ambiguity.� Coherence: Connectors used correctly.
Transitions between paragraphs.� Mechanics:
Spelling/grammar/punctuation.� Read the paper out loud.

Tips for Writing up your Work
� Determine the type of physical environment you need to be productive.
� Determine the time of day when you write best, and the length of time needed.
� “Talk” your way through. Describe to yourself or to others what you intend to write.
� Before stopping, list what you intend to do during the next writing session.
![Page 48: Winds Of Change: Writing For Publication](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030317/5a663f237f8b9afe4c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Tips, (cont.)
� Set aside what you have written and reread after some time has gone by (days).
� Don’t get bogged down in the technical aspects of writing such as spelling and grammar; these can be corrected later.
� Expect there will be times when conditions are perfect, but you still cannot write: do something else and try again later.
![Page 49: Winds Of Change: Writing For Publication](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030317/5a663f237f8b9afe4c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
For More Engaging Writing...
� Narrative of some personal experience.� Open or close with a quotation / poetry.� Use humor (appropriately).� Begin with a controversial or debatable
statement.� Use metaphors (implied comparisons).
![Page 50: Winds Of Change: Writing For Publication](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030317/5a663f237f8b9afe4c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The Publication Process
![Page 51: Winds Of Change: Writing For Publication](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030317/5a663f237f8b9afe4c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The Publication Process
� Manuscript is submitted according to “author” or “submission” guidelines.
� The editors may do a “pre-screening” for appropriateness of the ms. for the journal.
� Ms. is sent out for review to 2 or 3 reviewers; the review is “blind” in that the author does not know who is reviewing the ms., nor do the reviewers know who the author is.
� Reviewers return review to the editors who then make a final judgment on its status.
![Page 52: Winds Of Change: Writing For Publication](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030317/5a663f237f8b9afe4c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Publication Process (cont.)
� Author is notified with a cover letter from the editors and comments from reviewers.
� An “accepted” decision almost always requires some revisions.
� Author makes revisions and returns ms. to the editors with a cover letter saying what revisions were done.
� Author receives page proofs for editing.
![Page 53: Winds Of Change: Writing For Publication](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030317/5a663f237f8b9afe4c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Increasing your Chances� Present your work at a conference or workshop for
feedback before writing the article.� Ask colleagues to read a draft of your article.� Develop a writing/reading group to help each
other.� Make a careful selection of the journal before you
write the article.� Follow “author” or “submission” guidelines and
format according to the journal.� Submit to one journal at a time. After 3 months
check on the “status” of your manuscript.

DEALING WITH REJECTION

REVISE & RESUBMIT
� This is not rejection!!!� Articles are very rarely
accepted for publication without revision.

PERSISTENCE
� “... authorial persistence, that is, willingness to continue revising and resubmitting when faced with extensive critical commentary from reviewers, can result in publication.”
� Belcher, D. (2007) Seeking acceptance in an English-only research world. Journal of second language writing. (16) 1-22.
