Faculty Publication Workshop

The Faculty Publication Workshop is a year-long faculty development seminar designed to assist York College faculty in their scholarly writing, from proposal to publication.

The workshop enables faculty scholars to develop their current academic writing projects, whether they are books, articles, book chapters, or other scholarly pursuits, intended for publication in peer-reviewed journals, academic presses, or other scholarly venues. Providing a structured, disciplined environment, the workshop is an opportunity for participants to support one another in various writing stages and phases of publication preparation through constructive criticism and exchange. 

The workshop’s purpose is to create a collaborative community in which colleagues commit to supporting each other through careful reading of drafts, peer discussion, and, very importantly, written comments. The focus of the workshop is for participants to get feedback on their writing. Additionally, we discuss identifying publication venues, the submission process, the revising process, and interacting with editors.

The workshop is led by Dr. Linda M. Grasso (English).

Six applicants are chosen by the Faculty Publications Workshop Committee, an interdisciplinary group of York College faculty scholars, who also serve as publication mentors and consultants.

Participants in the Faculty Publication Workshop are encouraged to apply for a York College Strategic Initiatives Grant to support their scholarly projects.
