Workshop on publishing in international journals

This workshop will offer practical advice on how to get your research published in leading international journals. Drawing on her experience as editor of New Literary History, a leading journal in the humanities that has won six awards from the Council of Learned Journals, Rita Felski will discuss the various stages of submitting articles to journals, the qualities of a successful submission, and the most common reasons why essays are rejected. The workshop is open to Early Career Researchers, PhD students, and MA students from QMUL and elsewhere.

Rita Felski is the Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professor at Queen Mary University of London’s School of the Arts. She is also John Stewart Bryan Professor of English at the University of Virginia, former Niels Bohr Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, and former editor of New Literary History. Her most recent books are Uses of Literature (2008), The Limits of Critique (2015), Hooked: Art and Attachment (2020) and a co-edited collection Love Etc: Essays on Contemporary Literature and Culture (2024). Her new book, Selective Affinities: Literature and New Critical Theory, will be published next year.
