Week 7: Working towards the Guest Lecture

This week in the Quarterly I continued to work on editing articles for publication. The more I edit the more I realize that there really isn't a true set of rules as far as writing is concerned. In most regards there is an almost fluid set of concepts that can be formed into whatever particular style the author is writing. This really helps me in regards to my own work because it allows me to see professional writers and the many different styles that exist within the realm of academic writing in the field of History. Also I put together a program for the Florida Historical Quarterly's Jerrell Shofner Lecture Series that is coming up in a few weeks. This is just another aspect of the journal that I am learning how to do. I feel over the last few weeks I have been working to try and improve the accessibility to the Quarterly from the general public and that this will help the Quarterly in the long run.
