About the Event
This webinar is about writing for journals – taking UKSG’s own journal Insights as a case study. The webinar will be a brief (lighthearted) overview of the history of Insights, which illustrates how our journal and others have developed over the past 30 years. Helen Fallon will explain how practice and projects can be crafted into publishable articles and will share some top tips! Lorraine Estelle, Insights co-editor, will explain about the different types of articles, what editors look for, and how to prepare your manuscript for submission. If you have been thinking about writing for a journal, this is the webinar which will inspire you.

Feedback
Feedback from previous webinars
Inspiring and confidence-building - you'll find yourself looking for ways to use what you've learned the moment you leave the webinar!
Great to squeeze in so much useful knowledge and information without having to go out to a conference. I could enjoy taking it in with a sandwich at my desk! I felt very empowered afterwards.
These webinars are an excellent way of getting easy access to experts in their fields.
