I think it looks weird—would rather do place but not publisher even though I realize the publisher is more important

Yeah…I have access to the whole volume and the issue isn’t specific to my essay. I don’t use a reference manager, I always just put all the publication information, but if they cut the publisher names without fixing the place, you get issues with Amherst, Chapel Hill, Norman, Cambridge, etc.

Doing page-proofs on an essay in a volume and I just found an obscure but widespread consistency error (use of state abbreviations for place of publication in the footnotes and bibliographic essays) that may be a huge pain for the editors to fix. So now I feel like a pain in the butt.

Odds are the kids haven’t met *every* author in the collection. Some are no doubt long dead!

That’s good—they won’t be overly impressed by any of us. We need that.

"I like it!" or "I hate it!" really comes in handy when you've been given a word count of 3, though.

That being said, I once had an article that they didn’t know what to do with get suddenly *made* (with other articles) into a special issue, which elevated the quality of my piece through no effort of my own

Image counts, too. And if you’re into using images, be prepared to spend a ton of your own time and $ on reproductions and permissions. It’s a lot to do (my books each have 30 b/ws apiece). All love to JCB, LOC, and NYPL, who make it all much easier

Maybe they meant "fit" in the British sense, as in attractive?

I am on the prize committee and am happy to answer general questions about what I think makes a successful application (though I only have one year's experience thus far, and I'm just one guy).
