description
This half-day workshop will guide and encourage authors interested in composing digital scholarship for online journals. Editors will discuss authoring processes from the beginning of research projects to the publication stage, including visualizing your design to add value to your research project, storyboarding/prototyping, creating sustainable and accessible designs, querying editors, finding local resources, submitting webtexts, and revising in-progress work. Although the workshop’s primary emphasis will be on webtext-sized digital scholarship (for journals like Kairos), authors interested in larger projects such as online collections and digital books will also benefit from this workshop. The editors in attendance can also speak to individual authors’ needs regarding the teaching and evaluating of digital scholarship.

I have been moderator of these half-day, pre-conference workshops at the annual Computers and Writing conferences since 2005. Careers in Computers & Writing started as a job-market advice workshop for graduate students and morphed over the years (by request) into a professionalization workshop across academic ranks that now includes advice and suggestions about choosing grad schools and dissertation committees, navigating the job market (at all ranks), and planning for continued professional development after one gets a job through tenure and promotion processes.
