Generations Journal Office Hours (Webinar)
Journal Editors Office Hours offers prospective and current genealogy authors a unique opportunity to receive individualized, live feedback on their article submissions directly from experienced journal editors. Participants will submit their draft articles at least seven days prior to the event, allowing editors time for a thoughtful review.
During the event, each author will be scheduled for a private 15–20 minute one-on-one session with one of the two editors. These feedback sessions will take place in Zoom breakout rooms to ensure confidentiality and focused discussion. Editors will walk authors through suggested revisions, discuss strengths and areas for improvement, and answer questions about preparing an article for publication in a genealogical journal.
This event is ideal for writers seeking to strengthen their work, better understand editorial expectations, and gain confidence in the submission process.
Articles should be submitted by Thursday, September 3 rd to journal@mngs.org. We can accept a total of 10 articles for feedback. Upon receipt of your article, you will be sent a meeting link.
The 6-8 pm session will include 30 minutes of general Q&A and then 15 minute breakout sessions with each author.
