The Reading Teacher seeks papers for writers’ peer conference session

 Editors Judith P. Mitchell and D. Ray Reutzel are again offering a session for potential RT authors entitled "A Writers' Peer Conference" at the 2006 IRA Annual Convention. Now in its fourth year, this session is a valuable professional development opportunity ideal for graduate and post-graduate students who may be looking for assistance in publishing in RT. Each manuscript submitted for this session will be reviewed by a member of the RT Editorial Review Board prior to the national conference, held April 30- May 4 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Authors will be paired with the member of the RT Editorial Review Board who reviewed their submission for a personal peer conference during the session at the convention. Please note that participation in this session does not supersede the normal review process. The editors are soliciting a maximum of 25 manuscripts on a first-come, first-served basis for this personal peer review session. Manuscripts are to be submitted via e-mail to Christina Lambert at clambert@reading.org by March 15, 2006, and should follow published online guidelines for RT submissions (see www.reading.org/publications/for_authors/rt_jaal.html for details). Please use the subject line "RT Writers' Peer Conference."
