Hobby Fellows play an integral role in the office of SEL Studies in English Literature 1500–1900. The graduate students assist with fact checking, copy editing, and the book review process. As they gain experience, the Fellows move up through the system and learn to manage the editing process and take over more important supervisory roles. The Fellows program has been very important in building the resumes of graduate students as well as exposing them to the international experience of publishing a journal. More than fifty students have served as Hobby Fellows over the years.
