Format: Proposal for an Edited Collection Derived from a Conference

(You may copy and paste this form into a Word document or write without using the outline, ensuring that all the information required is included. Omitting any required information delays feedback and approval, as IE editors will request the additional information from volume editors before proceeding.)

  1. Editor(s) of  Conference Collection and their Institutional or Scholarly Affiliations 
    1. Editor 1 name:
    2. Editor 1 affiliation:
    3. Editor 2 name:
    4. etc.
  2. Title of the Conference & Brief Description
    1. Name of the conference: 
    2. Brief description of the conference theme, either your  own summary or a cut and paste from the conference website (no more than roughly 250 words):
    3. Date of the conference:
    4. City, state [if in the U.S.], and country in which the conference takes place:
    5. Conference website (URL):
    6. Indicate whether you are the conference organizers or whether you have communicated with the conference organizers and/or the organization or association sponsoring the conference about producing this volume (e.g., We are the conference organizers or represent the organization or association sponsoring the conference; We are not the organizers of the conference, but we have communicated with conference organizers and/or the organization or association sponsoring the conference about this proposal; or We are not the organizers of the conference, nor have we communicated with the conference organizers nor the organization or association sponsoring the conference about this proposal.) 
    7. The International Exchanges book series produces studies of writing that have relevance for its international readership. Given this purpose of the series and the theme and purpose of the conference,
      1. What is this proposed collection's initial aim and intended audience? 
      2. In this collection, what scholarship will likely be added to, represented, reported on, explored? 
      3. How does this proposed collection seek to make a contribution to or an argument about a moment, a particular discussion, or related discussions in the field? (These questions intersect and do not have to be answered individually. In addition, we realize that a conference collection proposal and CFP may be submitted prior to the event, so collection editors may not yet know what paper abstracts they will receive in answer to their CFP. That being said, volume editors should have a sense of why this collection, resulting from the conference, will be of importance to our field and to IE’s audience, and that should be described here.) 
    8. Proposed timeline of selection of chapters, feedback and final draft submission,  and submission for publication of completed volume: 
    9. Language(s) in which the chapters will be written and published: 
  3. Uploading Documents  Log into the WAC Clearinghouse submissions portal to upload files. (If you do not have an account with the Clearinghouse, one can quickly and easily be created by following the link and directions.) 
    1. Upload your proposal for an edited conference collection and CFP
    2. Upload volume editor CV[s]. Multiple CVs should be placed in a single file. Please note that your CV(s) will not be shared with reviewers.
