Subject: 	Re: Decision on paper you submitted to JSP (ref 13/159)

We are pleased to tell you that we now accept your paper for publication in
the Journal of Social Policy. We will notify you in due course on the date
of publication.

From now on Fiona Eadie (copied into this email) will take over your paper
and see it through the production stages. She will check it through and
contact you with any queries.

We would like to publicise your article once it is available on-line; if
you would like to send us a "tweet" of no more than 140 characters we will
pass it on to Cambridge University Press. We would also like to invite all
authors to consider writing a blog post about your article. This should be
between 300-1,000 words and might provide an engaging summary of the
article to be published, or a broader engagement with current events or
policy developments, for example. The particular content of the blog post
is about exposing your work and the journal to as wide an audience as
possible so it would be good to bear this in mind when preparing it.  We
mainly leave the content and style up to you, however, the blog will be
read by both Co-editors of JSP (although not externally refereed) and we
would ask that you be willing to respond to any suggested changes and avoid
simply repeating the abstract.

If you are interested in writing a blog post, and we would strongly
encourage you to do so, then please e-mail your piece to Jane Dennett (
jsp-bristol@bristol.ac.uk).
