Demystifying the Publishing Process Workshop

October 12, 2023 @ 3:30 pm - 4:45 pm

A person's hand writing on a piece of paper.

Most academics have a lot of questions about how academic publishing works. You might be looking for a Press or working on a book proposal and want to know what a university press wants in a book project. You might have an academic conference on your schedule and want to talk to an editor, but you don’t know what to say in order to pitch your book idea. And what exactly do academic editors do? How can you interpret their suggestions and directions? And if you’ve already started a relationship with a Press, what should you expect when expecting a book?  

James Engelhardt brings his 16 + years of experience as an editor to bear in answering these questions—and others—in order to demystify the publishing process. Join us for a brief presentation, questions to clarify our projects, and plenty of time for Q & A.
