needed to succeed and enjoy writing for publication. In this workshop

and cover letters; design and use questionnaires; use journals
as blueprints; base articles on dissertations and theses; avoid
the errors that lead to rejection; hear the advice of 40 editors;
and increase your acceptance rate by 300 percent. The workshop
will cover how to generate successful journal articles and publish
book-length projects, including monographs and edited collections.

Here's
what participants had to say after attending a recent workshop
by Ken Henson:
"I could
listen to him for days. Very helpful. Information was evidence-based
and very well presented. Lots of good information and advice that
helps me know how to get my work published and how to write."
"Strong
and passionate delivery. I learned both what to do and not to
do when writing for publication."
"This
was an excellent workshop. Very engaging and useful examples."
"Excellent.
A fountain of information! I got real information that can be
applied immediately. I was encouraged to get beyond my block and
start writing."
"Excellent!
An authority on publication of articles in journals. A great presenter!
This workshop is a must for all professors involved in publishing."
"This workshop
was filled with excellent tips that would otherwise only be gained
through experience and many failures. This was a great jump start." |
