Five appointments mark the formal constitution of the Revue's editorial office
The Revue Intl. de Théologie et des Lettres (International Review of Theology & Letters) announces the formation of its editorial team, and opens a timeline toward its first issue.
"A journal is only as serious as the people who agree to be responsible for it. We now have five."Jose Manuel R. Empleo, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Every publication begins as an idea, but it becomes a journal only when other people agree to stand behind it — to read what arrives, to argue about what is good enough, and to put their names to the decision. That step has now been taken. The Revue Intl. de Théologie et des Lettres is pleased to announce that its editorial team has been officially formed.
The team is small by design. Five people hold five distinct responsibilities, spanning editorial direction, line editing, day-to-day production, and the press and public-facing side of the Revue's work. Each is named below, along with the publication timeline their appointment now makes possible.
Sets editorial direction and holds final responsibility for what the Revue publishes.
Works alongside the Editor-in-Chief on the substance and shape of each submission.
Runs the editorial calendar and production of every issue, start to finish.
Jointly direct the Revue's press and public communications.
With the editorial office now constituted, the Revue is in a position to set dates. Submissions open in the first week of August, with the first issue cycle released in December.
"We would rather open on time with a small, well-edited issue than open early with a large, uneven one."Joncris Ambil Nagal, Managing Editor
I started this Revue on the conviction that Christian letters deserve editors who take both the faith and the writing seriously, and for a while that conviction had to be enough on its own. It no longer has to be. Anna, Joncris, Anya, and Raine have agreed to build this with me, and each brings something I could not supply alone: a second careful reader, a steady production hand, and a press office that can speak for the Revue when I should not be the one speaking.
None of this changes what we are trying to do. It only means we can now do it properly, on a schedule readers can rely on, with more than one set of eyes on every page.
