Hello!
On behalf of the editorial team, I am writing to invite you to participate in an anonymous survey for the Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition book series, published through the WAC Clearinghouse (htps://wac.colostate.edu/books/referenceguides/).
Our survey is part of our effort to learn what readers find useful in the series; to generate topic ideas; to gain ideas for how to more equitably narrate key topics in the field without reproducing historical biases and exclusions; and in doing so, to generate interest in the series and recruit new authors who are interested in narrating alternative syntheses of the field. We actively invite contributions from prospective authors (both new and returning). The goal of this survey is to reimagine the current book series and center equity-driven publishing and reviewing practices, opening space for wider participation and contribution from a variety of authors.
Mentoring Opportunity for Prospective Authors
We value your time and input in the completion of this study. For any interested participant, the editing team of the Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition series is offering feedback and mentorship opportunities for developing book proposals. An option to leave your contact information, questions for the editors, and project idea(s) is available through a channel separate from your responses at the end of the survey.
Survey Link and IRB information
The survey will approximately take 12-15 minutes to complete.
