Abstract: Through autobiographical narrative inquiry (Kim, 2016), I explore a string of untold stories from my life about publishing academic writing.Using the self as data, the retelling of these stories examines what it means to cultivate a writing identity and more specifically what it means to write for publication.Through a critical literacy lens (Freire, 1996), I problematize the traditions of publishing and consider the ramifications for mentoring doctoral students into this realm of academic life.Thus, this reflexive essay (Luttrell, 2010) is a sorting through of nearly thirty years of chasing academic publications.This writing is a way to both make my thinking visible and tell a story of my becoming an academic writer through the shaping forces of audience, blind peer review, and conflicting opinions.
