Call for Book Review Editor for Configurations

Dear SLSA Colleagues,
After serving as book review editor for Configurations for since 2015, it is time for me to pass the job to someone else. If you are interested in becoming book review editor, please send an email to me (jeff.karnicky at drake.edu). Here is a brief description of the job. I am happy to answer any questions.

The book review editor (BRE) solicits reviews and considers book review proposals from SLSA members. The BRE receives communications from University presses that publish books of interest to SLSA members. (While a few presses still mail out physical review copies, many presses have switched in the past five years to electronic review copies). The BRE periodically sends out calls for reviewers via the SLSA listserv, helps reviewers procure review copies of books, and edits reviews for publication.

Configurations published four issues per year and we seek to publish three to five book reviews in each issue. The BRE editor attends regular Zoom meetings with Configurations’s editors (usually every two weeks during the semester and monthly during the summer). The BRE editor also serves on the board of the SLSA.

Best,
Jeff
