The Academy of Marketing and the Marketing Trust would like to invite you to a publishing workshop at Birmingham Business School.

The focus of this workshop is on publishing in highly ranked marketing journals and participants will work closely with one author/author team in exploring the road from submission to publication.

Participants will gain insight into the review process in the featured journals, handling reviews, communicating with editors and reviewers and successful navigation through the publishing process.

The workshop is ideally suited for authors who plan on targeting these journals and are using the methods employed by the paper’s authors.

Those wishing to attend should indicate which paper and author they would like to work with by listing their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices in the registration form. In the workshops, authors will share their original submission, reviews, responses to review document and final accepted manuscript with participants in order to provide insight into the publishing process.

This event is free of charge but numbers are strictly limited, please register your attendance. Due to limited capacity, the team will be in touch to confirm your attendance upon receiving your registration.

If you have questions relating to this event, please email bbsevents@contacts.bham.ac.uk
