2024 PUBLISHING TIMELINE

2024 Publishing Timeline

By Kate Dougherty

Below we have included all relevant deadlines and events that you need to be aware of. Our Project Manager for Authors, Allison, will be in touch and reminding you of these dates along the way via email as well. In addition most of these dates will be advertised via Instagram @mim_journal, so be sure to follow us there. 

The submitted articles will go through two rounds of editing (by us) and revising (by you) prior to publication. We have planned multiple workshops to assist you through the process. If you are unable to attend, don’t hesitate to reach out! We are always happy to provide resources and assistance. Also keep an eye out here on the blog where we will share How-To guides and tips. 

Author Workshop: How to Write a Summary 2/29

Our skilled team of interns will be available to give you tips on writing your summary article. This event will be held in McNairy 117 from 1:30-3:00pm. Invites will be sent via email; please rsvp to help us plan accordingly.

First Draft Due: 3/10

Photo Deadline: 3/20

Please email madeinmujournal@millersville.edu the photograph you would like to be published with your biography by this date. This should be a professional looking photo of you from the shoulders up with a plain background. If you don’t already have an appropriate photo, you may take one yourself using your phone. Feel free to look at previously published authors in our 2023 issue to get an idea of what we are looking for.

Author Workshop: APA Citations 3/21

We understand that sometimes citations can be a little tricky or confusing, especially when different writing styles require different formats.
