Get started
iteration
Kirstie’s writing process
• Words on paper– Any words – know that they are not the best words– Blah blah blah is acceptable– ***insert something about X here****
• Iterative edits– Easier than writing– Learn to let go– Imagine that somebody else wrote this– Read CAREFULLY
The submission system
• Check it out before hand…– What do you need to upload? – What information do you need?– Do your co-authors also need to be registered in
the system?• Upload an “almost done!” version at least 30
minutes before– Better than missing the deadline due to
circumstances beyond your control!

It is always reviewer #3
Notification
• Of Acceptance– Yay!– Now the work of making the camera-ready copy
begins: improve your paper– Presentation? Poster?
Notification
• Of rejection– Quick skim and then walk away from your computer– After you have processed it, go back to the review
• Anonymous Facebook friend of a friend: “I generally read them, then go make coffee/take a walk/etc and reread. Often the first read sounds like " you suck" while the second read sounds like "I have some questions and concerns.”
• Improve your paper• Find a new venue!
THE PRESENTATION
Saul Greenberg’s tips
• Attend and critique presentations– Good or bad, you learn
• Practice Practice Practice– It is not all about the slides, practice for timing– (and then remember to delete timings in PPT!)
• Have others critique you– Practice talks: supervisor, lab meeting– (give them a hard copy of your presentation to
make notes on)
