1st Edition
Narratives and Practices of Mentorship in Scholarly Publication
This edited volume explores mentorship in knowledge production and dissemination and examines its implications for academic lives and careers of novice scholarly writers.
By bringing together experts in a variety of areas in applied linguistics, the book addresses the complex topic of mentorship in scholarly publication practices of junior scholars. Drawing on the perspectives and experiences of novice scholars, supervisors, practitioners, and researchers, it intends to demystify the socialization process of junior academics and help paint a richer and more nuanced picture of the practices, experiences, and challenges of mentorship in writing for publication. An important aspect of the book is a serious attempt to explore the experiences of different stakeholders both through empirical research and personal (hi)stories and accounts.
The book acts as a valuable resource for graduate students and both novice and established scholars looking to build a more holistic understanding of mentorship in scholarly publication today, in such fields as English for research publication purposes, applied linguistics, and TESOL.

"This book is a fascinating read. It shows the importance of mentoring novice and early career scholars in the complex and multifaceted process of writing for publication. I highly recommend it!" - Brian Paltridge, Professor of TESOL, University of Sydney
"As a graduate student, are you stressed about how you’ll ever get published? As a supervisor/mentor, have you wondered how your colleagues support their students as they learn to write for academic publication? In the chapters of Narratives and Practices of Mentorship in Scholarly Publication, you’ll find diverse examples of complex, interwoven mentoring practices used by faculty with graduate students as they work together. This edited collection is filled with important and exciting ideas of how to mentor, and of practices graduate students should be demanding from their mentors as they travel the difficult journey from novice writers to authors of scholarly publications." - Merrill Swain, Professor Emerita, University of Toronto (OISE)
