Dr. Jan Holden

(VP for Student Development)
- member of practitioner board
- lobbied to reinstate the journal
- start-up journal, struggle to find manuscripts; request articles from people with known presentations/papers
- would encourage people to write and submit things
- as an editor in this position, more willing to work with and edit something
- probably a great experience for a new writer without publishing experience
- many journals are very research-based; look for one that accepts other kinds
- most of faculty members in the dept. are happy to get second authors to help with their projects (may also ask about looking at your drafts); INQUIRE!
- from the practitioner viewpoint
- if you have published, and are looking for a practitioner job (VP, etc.), you will stand out!!!
- three articles a year
- impresses faculty on the search committee
- select interesting topic, do literature review, and do research
- write an outline
