Why are you publishing?
Writing should be a challenge not a
chore.
Writing is teaching.Writing is learning.
"There is no such thing as good writing. There is only good rewriting.”
– Harry Shaw
"Books are not written--they're rewritten.”
– Michael Crichton
"Good writing is essentially rewriting.”– Roald Dahl
"I have never thought of myself as a good writer. . . . But I’m one of the world’s great rewriters.”
– James Michener
Fake it till you make it.
(No, not really.)
Follow models until you’ve internalized
the structures.
You are writing…
… a report of research.(not a journal article or dissertation)
… a review of related research.
(not a literature review)
Use a research cycle.
(…if it works for you.)

Characteristics
Be familiar with the journal’s articles.
(Because the reviewers will be.)
Consider an online/OA journal(Highest rigor v. Widest reach)
Sole author v. Collaborations
Review manuscripts & presentation
proposals.
Consider a writing circle.
Find out where your “idols” are publishing.
(But don’t get hung up on where they are publishing now. Maybe go
back in time.)
Technical DetailsGet the author guidelines for the journal you are submitting to and ensure your manuscript conforms
exactly to those guidelines.—from Dr. Dan Surry
Technical Detailsspealcheck! speelchek!
Spellchec!—from Randy VanVoorhis
Do not get discouraged with feedback and or
rejections. The process is about improvement.
Reflect, revise, and resubmit - but maybe
not at the same journal.— Dr. Chuck Hodges
Revise & resubmit as soon as you can.
Publishing = Persistence + Perseverance.
— Dr. Janna Siegel-Robertson
