After working with MJ on my own academic writing, I invited her to facilitate an academic publishing workshop on our campus. Fifteen faculty members from disciplines ranging from economics to English to engineering attended the full-day workshop. In advance, MJ collaborated with me and registered participants to design a workshop that would meet the needs of our diverse set of participants. She arrived well-prepared to engage participants in a balanced day of research on academic publishing, brief writing, evaluations of their target journals, and small- and large-group discussions. The day wrapped with handouts on responding to reviewers’ feedback. Participants ended the workshop energized and encouraged to take next steps with their own academic publishing projects.
