pmla-revision-and-response

separate

Use when revising a PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association) essay after a decision and writing the response to readers' reports. PMLA essays receive at least two substantive reports and the Editorial Board decides, so the revision must answer every reader while protecting the argument and keeping the manuscript anonymous. Structures the revision and response; it does not fabricate evidence.

When to use

• revising a PMLA essay after a decision
• writing the response to readers' reports
• reconciling conflicting reader reports
• writing the cover note summarizing the revision

When not to use

• fabricating evidence
• revising manuscripts previously declined without an invitation
