Review


 

For each article, you will compose an Editor’s Letter to the author (of at least 300 words), wherein you’ll provide support and specific evidence for your editorial recommendation. It is extremely important to consider all elements of the manuscript and review process BEFORE making your editorial decision. Please use the following as an approximate template for your letters:

Select one quotation from the article that you think is particularly strong, evocative, or otherwise noteworthy, and offer your thoughts on why that particular quotation had an effect on you as a reader.
