ci-revision-and-response

Use when revising a Critical Inquiry (CI) essay after a decision and writing the response to readers and editors. CI acceptance typically follows author revisions, and the editors-in-chief read closely, so the revision must strengthen the intervention and the response must address every point without diluting the argument. Structures the revision and response; it does not fabricate new readings or evidence.

# Revision & Response (ci-revision-and-response)

A request to revise from *Critical Inquiry* is an encouraging signal — acceptance typically **follows
author revisions**, and the **editors-in-chief read closely**. The revision must make the intervention
sharper and the readings more earned; the response letter must address every point while **protecting
the argument** that drew the invitation in the first place.

## When to trigger

- A decision arrived asking for revisions before (re)consideration
- Readers' reports disagree and you must reconcile them
- A reader asks for a change that would blunt the central claim
- Writing the cover note to the editors summarizing the revision
