We are pleased to announce that for the second year running, there will be an English manuscript editing workshop led by three editors with vast experience in this area. The workshops aim to assist early-career researchers and graduate students primarily in the humanities and social sciences in preparing their manuscripts for publication. The workshop leaders will give interactive lectures, offer clear guidance about writing theses in English, and give practical advice about publishing in journals. In addition, the workshops will enable participants to request specific advice through individual consultations. An opportunity not to be missed! 

The workshop leaders are:

• Paul Kratoska, Publishing Director, NUS Press, National University of Singapore
• Paul Robert Nerney, Former Senior Lecturer, Centre for English Language Communication, National University of Singapore
• Susan Lopez Nerney, Former Lecturer, Centre for English Language Communication, National University of Singapore
