[ATTW-L] TCQ Call for Special Issue Proposals

[Rebecca Walton]

Hello all,

Technical Communication Quarterly (TCQ) is soliciting special issue
proposals, which are due December 15. Please refer to the call for
proposals (CFP)
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sumZqr8bMn6_Uvs345tts9dKlvOBhY7EoH48CEtnfo/edit?usp=sharing>
for details regarding what to include in your proposal and to the guest
editor instructions
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rEhkfiTQQ8eHWURVoabDZby5MxIiYNOPhHOfl31WvTg/edit?usp=sharing>
for
a full description of the process and guest editor responsibilities.

In the recent editor listening sessions on anti-racism and inclusion
practices in publication editing and academic publishing, one theme we
heard from participants was the importance of mentoring and transparency to
support multiply marginalized and underrepresented (MMU) scholars,
particularly graduate students and early career scholars. To increase
transparency, TCQ's editor in chief has updated our guest editor
instructions
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rEhkfiTQQ8eHWURVoabDZby5MxIiYNOPhHOfl31WvTg/edit?usp=sharing>
with additional detail about the publication process and has added the
following to the special issue CFP
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sumZqr8bMn6_Uvs345tts9dKlvOBhY7EoH48CEtnfo/edit?usp=sharing>
:

Special consideration will be given to proposals that explain how guest
editors will a) seek submissions from MMU scholars, particularly graduate
students and early career scholars, and b) support contributing scholars
through the publication process. Such efforts could involve, for example,
particular forms of mentorship, flexibility in accepted genres or
innovative genre options, specific ways to increase transparency, or other
ideas. Feel free to contact editor in chief Rebecca Walton (
rebecca.walton at usu.edu) to request a meeting to talk through your ideas
before submitting your proposal package if that would be helpful.


We look forward to hearing from you about important topics the field should
be discussing! If you have any questions, please contact TCQ editor in
chief Rebecca Walton at rebecca.walton at usu.edu.
