mode of self-expression, an ever-evolving record of culture and place, a marker of power and/or disempowerment, and more. There is no such thing as universally “good” writing, instead, it is more or less effective based on its context—what you’re writing, whom that writing is for, what genre you’re writing in, and more. Excellent film scripts look very different from excellent novels, which both look very different from excellent lab reports, news segments, and emails. Writing for a general audience uses different language and conventions than writing for specialists in your field. When you write to change someone’s mind you make different choices than when you’re writing to someone who already agrees with you. There are a ton of factors that shape how effective we are as communicators, and we also all have our own individual style of writing that is uniquely ours. The goal of this course is not to teach “good writing,” because there’s no such thing, but to teach you how to make more thoughtful and sophisticated choices about how you write, so you are more purposeful and effective at achieving your goals. As we learn how to develop a research question, explore existing sources, and build our own independent arguments, we will explore the concept of monstrosity. Where do monsters come from? And what do our stories about monsters tell us about ourselves?</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-9"> <div class="s-lg-tab-content"> <div id="s-lg-guide-main" class="tab-pane active" tabindex="-1"> <div class="row s-lg-row"><div id="s-lg-col-1" class="col-md-12"><div class="s-lg-col-boxes"><div id="s-lg-box-wrapper-41516441" class="s-lg-box-wrapper-41516441"> <div id="s-lg-box-35276190-container" class="s-lib-box-container"> <div id="s-lg-box-35276190" class="s-lib-box s-lib-box-std"> <h2 class="s-lib-box-title"> Where to Publish Your Non-Scholarly Non-Fiction Articles </h2> <div id="s-lg-box-collapse-35276190" > <div class="s-lib-box-content"> <div id="s-lib-ctabs-35276190" class="s-lib-jqtabs"> <ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist"> <li role="presentation" class="active"><a href="#s-lib-ctab-35276190-0" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" aria-controls="s-lib-ctab-35276190-0" tabindex="0" aria-selected="true" aria-expanded="true">Why you want to publish will tell you where.</a></li> <li role="presentation" ><a href="#s-lib-ctab-35276190-1" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" aria-controls="s-lib-ctab-35276190-1" tabindex="-1" aria-selected="false" aria-expanded="false">How to Write</a></li> <li role="presentation" ><a href="#s-lib-ctab-35276190-2" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" aria-controls="s-lib-ctab-35276190-2" tabindex="-1" aria-selected="false" aria-expanded="false">Find a place to publish</a></li> <li role="presentation" ><a href="#s-lib-ctab-35276190-3" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" aria-controls="s-lib-ctab-35276190-3" tabindex="-1" aria-selected="false" aria-expanded="false">Contact with Publishers</a></li> <li role="presentation" ><a href="#s-lib-ctab-35276190-4" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" aria-controls="s-lib-ctab-35276190-4" tabindex="-1" aria-selected="false" aria-expanded="false">Scholarly Publishing</a></li> </ul> <div class="tab-content"> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active" id="s-lib-ctab-35276190-0"> <div id="s-lg-content-83052691" class=" clearfix"> <p><span style="font-size:16px;">Finding the right place to publish requires you to answer these GAPS questions:</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>G</strong>enre - What type of nonfiction do you want to write?
