Providing a detailed guide to editing multi-authored publications such as a collection of papers, a special issue of a journal or an academic blog, this must-read book canvases the benefits and challenges of undertaking editorial work.
This compact book is designed to guide new scholarly (co-)editors through the complex journey of editing. It provides considered and detailed advice on the less well-known scholarly practices and the processes, challenges and rewards of this work, throughout the process from start to finish, with a focus on ensuring successful outcomes for all.
Practical advice is delivered throughout this book, mapped against the wider context of academic life and values, covering topics such as:
- Considering and preparing for how scholarly editing work fits with your academic career, your own values and your aspirations
- Building collaborative relationships with colleagues participating in the project, from publishers and co-editors to authors, reviewers and readers; and

Offering critical insights into the realities of scholarly editing, this is an essential read for any academic who plans to undertake a scholarly editing project.
The ‘Insider Guides to Success in Academia’ offers support and practical advice to doctoral students and early-career researchers. Covering the topics that really matter, but which often get overlooked, this indispensable series provides practical and realistic guidance to address many of the needs and challenges of trying to operate, and remain, in academia.
These neat pocket guides fill specific and significant gaps in current literature. Each book offers insider perspectives on the often implicit rules of the game – the things you need to know but usually aren’t told by institutional postgraduate support, researcher development units, or supervisors – and will address a practical topic that is key to career progression. They are essential reading for doctoral students, early-career researchers, supervisors, mentors, or anyone looking to launch or maintain their career in academia.
