The selection committee for the Writing Center Journal has recommended the selection of Melissa Ianetta from the University of Delaware and Lauren Fitzgerald from Yeshiva University as the next editors of Writing Center Journal.

These two outstanding scholars and professors have lengthy experience as writers, reviewers, writing center professionals. They also possess rich records publishing in the field and making larger connections to composition and English Studies, and their vision for soliciting and shepherding new scholarship will only make the tradition of Writing Center Journal grow stronger. Drs. Ianetta and Fitzgerald’s institutions have committed resources to enable them release time, travel support and administrative assistance sufficient to produce the journal with excellence, all the while maintaining its independence. Given our selection criteria – broad understanding of the writing center scholarship and of rhetoric and composition studies; experience with writing center administration and board service; ability to marshal institutional support for sponsorship of the journal; and publication and editorial experience – these candidates easily enabled the selection committee to reach a consensus, especially in the face of strong competition.
