Dear Colleagues,
The WAC Journal is actively seeking applications from potential editors or editorial teams. The deadline to apply is June 15. Please see the announcement below.
Best,
Michele
Editor, The WAC Journal
The WAC Clearinghouse and Parlor Press are seeking a new editor (or a new editorial team, should a group wish to apply collectively) for The WAC Journal. First published in 1989, the journal is the longest-running journal devoted to writing across the curriculum in the field. It receives some support from the Clearinghouse for hosting and publishing the journal, assigning DOIs to articles, and conducting reviews of submissions. The editor (or editorial team) will be responsible for coordinating and managing the editorial review board, reviewing and revising (as needed) existing editorial policies, working with the editorial team of the WAC Clearinghouse, and publishing one issue of the journal per year.
To apply, please send a letter of application to the search committee Chair, Michael Pemberton, at michaelp by June 15, 2026. Letters should be accompanied by (1) a CV(s), noting any editorial experience, and (2) a statement of vision (500-700 words), to include any suggestions for innovation and expansion as well as features of the journal to be continued. Applicants are encouraged to consult with local institutional leaders on the question of time, resources, and other services that may be required. For more information, please contact Michael Pemberton.
