** Please help distribute this announcement to interested individuals ** Publishing in English journals is important but challenging for many non-native speakers of English. The Association of American Geographers (AAG) has put together two panel sessions at the 2014 AAG Annual Meeting that focus on the issues and challenges non-native speakers of English face when they attempt to publish their work in Anglo-American journals. Editors of the *Annals of the* *Association of American Geographers, The Professional Geographer, The AAG Review of Books,* and other journals will discuss their experience regarding how to address these issues or challenges. Authors and manuscript reviewers will also share their experience, either with respect to their success or failure in publishing in English journals. There will be plenty of time for open discussion among the audience. Information about the two sessions is as follows: *Organizers:* Mei-Po Kwan - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Eric Sheppard - University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) *4407 Publishing for Non-Native Speakers of English I* Friday, 4/11/2014, from 12:40 PM - 2:20 PM in Room 7, TCC, First Floor Session Chair: Mei-Po Kwan Panelists: Helga Leitner, Bing Xu, Weidong Liu, Padraig Carmody, Barney Warf, Richard Wright, Tim Schwanen *4507 Publishing for Non-Native Speakers of English II* Friday, 4/11/2014, from 2:40 PM - 4:20 PM in Room 7, TCC, First Floor Session Chair: Eric Sheppard Panelists: György Csomós, Annelies Zoomers, Canfei He, Henry Yeung, Kent Mathewson, Joseli Maria Silva --------------------------------------- Mei-Po Kwan Professor Department of Geography and Geographic Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Champaign, IL 61820, USA Editor, *Annals of the Association of American Geographers* [log in to unmask] http://meipokwan.org
