May 13 – 17: FarmPath writing week – individual and group work on chapters and other publications

Output: complete draft of chapter(s)

30 July: Editors return reviewed chapters to author with constructive requests for revisions

1 Sept: Final chapters due with the editorial team

These dates can and should be negotiated with the co-authors and the assigned editor

Writing Principles The audience for this book is primarily academic – chapters should

therefore be of the quality of a peer-reviewed journal article.

Chapters should contribute to the development of the conceptual framework (i.e. make reference to the concepts in the conceptual framework – Chapter 2)

Chapters should be analytical rather than descriptive (see examples)

Chapters should have introduction and concluding sections but it is not necessary to retain the outline submitted in the original book proposal.

Chapters should be formatted and referenced according to the designated End-Note referencing format (circulated by Claire)

Chapters must remain within word limits.
