Regular duties of the editor(s) include: 1. Managing manuscripts as they come in. A receipt letter is sent to the writer, the manuscript is sent to reviewers, the editor makes decisions on accepting, rejecting or working with the writer on revision of the article, and a letter indicating this is sent to the writer. 2. Editing manuscripts and working with writers. Manuscripts often need editing for accuracy, format, and fluency. At times reviewers may find a manuscript compelling but in need of some revision, in which case the editor may choose to interact with the writer about the revision. 3. Maintain and update the WWC social media accounts. 4. Develop calls for proposals. 5. Managing the WWC email account, and responding to authors in a timely fashion. 6. Posting manuscripts on the blog in a timely manner. 7. Meeting monthly with the review board to review manuscripts. |
