Miracle Monocle: Onwards and Upwards, Navigating Change
Lizzy Roth, Ariana Alvarado, Miracle Monocle, University of Louisville
Miracle Monocle has recently undergone major shifts in operation; a new website unaffiliated with the university, a publishing fellowship program, and a membership to CLMP. All these changes are to uplift and support the journal and its student editors at every level, granting opportunity and experience to its staff and authors. New competitions, publications, and reviews are all hallmarks of the journal-- but it’s still a leap whenever we make a change. Change is difficult, it’s scary, and it can be hard to judge the shifting tides of community engagement in addition to thinking about what’s best for expanding the journal. Our presentation will aim to describe how we thought about these opportunities, the process of making them happen, and advice about how you can make your journal as flexible as possible to give your readers, authors, and editors the best experience with you.
