On an Academic Roll

I received a very exciting email this morning from the man who runs the website dedicated to Joyce Carol Oates. He is working on starting up an online academic journal dedicated to Oates's work and has invited me to be a member of the peer review board. Other members of the board are such renowned scholars as Oates's biographer and the English professor who was on my examining committee. In addition to the intellectual stimulation afforded by involvement in such an endeavor, surely having this on my resumé will contribute to my employment prospects. Fingers crossed.

Yippee! Don't know if the Editorial Board will have conversations some times, but if they do it sounds as if you will have the people most interested in the things you are interested in to talk to. That's got to be good. Plus, they noticed your excellent work! That's terrific.
