>>Thank you john for taking time to respond to writers workshop.  However,

>>of a committee and with Heldref Publishing.
>>
>>My concern is helping members write for our journal.

>>The workshop you accepted, jackie fowler's, is a good workshop.  However,
>>jackie attended the editor's workshop last year and asked if she could be
>>helpful - thus we integrated her as a helper in assisting others/members
>>to write.  In brief, i do not think the workshop will meet writing
>>expectations or needs for a professional journal.
