They detail their editorial histories and philosophies and different influences and experiences; their editorial accomplishments and contributions; how they understand their role in relation to the text, content, scholar, and other considerations in scholarly production; and advice for new and seasoned scholars on the relationship between editors and authors, the scholarship they produce, the decisions and interventions they make, and the challenges they face. They have been editors of journals like College English, Composition Studies, WLN: A Journal of Writing Center Scholarship, WPA: Writing Program Administration, Composition Forum, College Composition and Communication, Across the Disciplines, Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology and Pedagogy, enculturation: a journal of rhetoric, writing, and culture, constellations: a cultural rhetorics publishing space, and PRE/TEXT, as well as books and books series, and they discuss their experiences in these roles.

Until now there has been little consideration of the intellectual and historical impact editors have had on the young and ever-evolving field of writing studies. Behind the Curtain of Scholarly Publishing provides new and seasoned scholars with behind-the-scenes explorations and expositions of the history of scholarly editing and the role of the scholarly editor from the perspectives of current and former editors from important publications within the field.
Each chapter in the collection examines the unique experiences and individual contributions of its authors during their time as editors, offering advice to scholars and potential editors on how to navigate the publication process and understand editorial roles. The contributors provide multiple perspectives on the growth, transformation, and, in some cases, founding of some of the most influential publishing venues in writing studies.
The personal and historical narratives, along with the unique perspectives and insightful analyses of the individual authors in Behind the Curtain of Scholarly Publishing, offer needed transparency and context to what has historically been an opaque, yet inevitable and consequential, part of academic life. This volume will help researchers in the field understand the publishing process.
