I agree with all of this. I think you just need to keep at it. Was there no advice given while you were studying? I have been encouraged to write as much as possible as that is, as you say, very important. I too have found Nick Sarantakes' blog interesting. So many different avenues to consider. Hopefully the new year will bring something along. Who knew indeed. I agree with all of this. I think you just need to keep at it. Was there no advice given while you were studying?

Turnaround times depend on the unpaid referees, and so can vary wildly; presumably the journals don't want to get people's hopes up...

Sounds like half the definition of being a writer to me. Heh. You know the sharing the fruits of your education with the masses thing? There's always [shock-horror]non-academic[/shock-horror] publications. <i>Cough, cough</i>. Some of them even pay. I wonder who you'd talk to about that? Excuse my (treasured) ignorance, but why might it be 'excusable' for journals to be evasive about turnaround time? Sounds like a statement of 'good luck' wishes wouldn't go amiss, and a reminder that 'the future is unwritten' seems particularly apposite, perhaps. I don't see a link to 'contract negotiation tips for celebrity TV historians' in your list. Is that one you'll be sharing with us shortly?
