3.30 "Long Time, No See: Behind the Scenes of the Drafting Process"

In Episode 30 of the South Phoenix Oral History Project, Summer and Ele are back on the mic after a little radio silence—but for good reason! They've been hard at work and are excited to share that a full draft of their article is complete and has been shared with three trusted scholars for feedback before submission.

As Summer explains, it's all part of a tried-and-true editorial process she’s developed over the years to avoid surprises and strengthen the work before it ever hits a reviewer’s desk. Tune in to hear more about this behind-the-scenes phase, the value of early peer feedback, and how building this kind of review into your writing practice can lead to powerful results.
