ChLA Quarterly Editor Search
The term of the current editor of the Children’s Literature Association Quarterly is nearing its end; thus, applications for a new editor for the Quarterly are now being solicited. The new editor will begin to take on responsibilities by serving as Acquisitions Editor ideally beginning in November 2008; full editorial responsibilities will commence the following year.
The duties of the editor of the Children’s Literature Association Quarterly include:
- Appointing associate editors to help with the editorial work
- Reviewing manuscripts; soliciting referees; working with authors as they revise; editing; proofreading; and corresponding with authors and referees
- Coordinating with special editors, such as the Book Review editor, and appointing guest editors for special issues
- Working with John Hopkins University Press, the current publisher, regarding production of the print and electronic (Project Muse) versions of each issue
- Reporting to the Association and its Board, as required
Time commitment for the editor is considerable, and university support in terms of release time and clerical help is essential.
Formal letters of interest should be received at the ChLA Business Office by September 1, 2008; full proposals will be due by October 15, 2008, for Executive Board review.
For further information on applying for the editorship, contact Kathy Kiessling, ChLA Administrator, by email at kkiessling@childlitassn.org, or by phone at 269-965-8180.
