Accessibility and Clarity:
As you craft your chapter, please keep in mind that we are trying to reach a wide general audience (community organizations, youth groups, youth activists, university researchers and others). Therefore, kindly ensure that your writing is clear, concise, and jargon-free. Please explain specific concepts that you are using, delineate their significance, explain them in clear language, and also explain/show why and how you weave them into the writing. Read your own writing- sometimes reading it out loud, or having the computer read it back for you are a few helpful strategies to check if your sentences and paragraphs make sense and flow well. These strategies also help you edit your work for clarity, run-on sentences, grammatical errors, and other such issues that could detract from the argument/message you want to get across to the reader.
Review Process:
The review process will be conducted in two stages to ensure quality submissions moving forward.
(1) Internal review- An internal review will be conducted in the spirit of collaboration and support. Each contributing author will receive one or two manuscripts for review and feedback (in March- April 2018). We highly recommend that our youth researchers take on a major role in this review. We also contend that this internal review process will provide all authors opportunities to gauge what other authors are writing; thereby strengthening his/her own work for further alignment so that all contributions fit nicely within this anthology.
Feedback from the internal review will be returned to authors (with my comments and suggestions) to attend to edits and revisions;
Revised manuscripts to be submitted latest by June 15, 2018.
