'On Mondays and Thursdays through this July, the TSR team were privileged to spend time with emerging editors for our Jumpstart a Journal workshop. We invite applications to this workshop every year from participants who want to learn more about independent publishing. This year, as always, we found ourselves enjoying clever, funny, and thoughtful discussions about editorial practice, about how to deal with budgets and production timelines, and about generous, attentive reading. We discussed how to operate without sure access to grant funding, and the continual development of accessibility tools and practices. We discussed participants’ experiences of editing and being edited. We heard about their plans for publishing projects—which we can’t wait to see take shape and be realised.'
