Journal of the American Revolution is having a productive sophomore year on all fronts. Since launching in January 2013, we have published nearly 450 articles by 70+ writers and our readership continues to increase. For the last half-year we have averaged 65,000 readers per month. If you’re a talented nonfiction writer with a passion for the Revolution and Founding, consider publishing your next article with us. Our writers rave about our expedited peer review process — frequently going from pitch to publish in less than three weeks — and the exciting ability to build a large, loyal audience among our 360,000+ annual readers. And don’t forget about our annual hardcover print volumes with Westholme.

In September, we welcomed another advertiser, Cornell University Press, which is promoting two exciting new titles — Dangerous Guests by Ken Miller and For Fear of an Elective King by Kathleen Bartoloni-Tuazon. Coincidentally, Dangerous Guests was also reviewed by Don N. Hagist in September and earned our highest marks. This past month, JAR editors Todd Andrlik and Don Hagist visited upstate New York and gave presentations at Fort Plain and Fort Ticonderoga. It was a great opportunity to schmooze with JAR readers, writers and advertisers. During these seminars, we received wonderful feedback about our other current advertiser, the American Revolution Round Tables. If you’re looking for a Revolutionary fellowship with an opportunity to share and discuss the latest discoveries in American Revolution research, please attend the next meeting of your local American Revolution Round Table. You won’t be disappointed.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: In the weeks ahead, we will be closing nominations for our first ever Journal of the American Revolution Book of the Year Award. Publishers, writers and readers: If you have a great new title that you think deserves the annual prize, please let us know by November 15. The winner will be announced in early 2015.
