Publication/awards?

by R. Hoff

May 23, 2016

Besides "The Concord Review," can anyone share ideas how to promote a student's research paper? He's a freshman and produced an amazing work of scholarship on the 1857 Indian Rebellion (a.k.a. Sepoy Rebellion). Any leads on contests, awards, or publications are very appreciated!
