Join our upcoming academic publishing workshop for essential insights into the publishing process. Learn about manuscript preparation and publication opportunities and identifying the right journals for publication. Discover how to navigate the publication process, from submission to potential outcomes (Accepted/R&R/Desk Rejection, etc), and typical timeframes. This workshop is open to all graduate students, but extra attention will be paid to publishing in English/Spanish, in US/Latin American academies, and in the fields of literature/cultural studies and film studies.

The workshop is coordinated by Zemurray-Stone Post-Doctoral Fellows, Olivia Cosentino, and Alejandro Kelly-Hopfenblatt, and organized by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
