Katie McGettigan and Will Norman, editors of Journal of American Studies, invite conference participants at BAAS 2023 in Keele to discuss prospective contributions with them in informal journal “office hours”. Authors will be able to receive feedback on article ideas, suggestions for special issues, and other contributions (e.g. roundtables, essay clusters). First time article authors can also discuss the process of publishing in JAS and what to expect from peer review. All conference participants are welcome, including postgraduate students and ECRs.

Office hours will be held in the foyer of Chancellor’s Building A, 9-10:30 on Friday 14 April. Please email jas@baas.ac.uk to book a slot. Prospective authors may wish to include a 250 word abstract of their article or special issue. If you cannot make that slot and wish to meet, please do email and we can organise an alternative time.
