How to Publish: A discussion for new and upcoming authors and scholars. Presented by Laura Fish, Syracuse University Press
Description: Book publishing can often be a murky and mysterious process for both scholars and non-academic authors alike. Acquisitions editors from Syracuse University Press hope to make that process clearer for early career scholars at SU to better prepare them as they determine their publishing goals for the future. The editors will walk participants through the stages of gauging editors’ and presses’ interest in research projects, the key elements of a book proposal, peer review and manuscript preparation, what each department at a press helps the author accomplish, and what happens when a book enters the wider world. They will also clarify common misconceptions about publishing and what it means to publish with a university press, an academic press, and a commercial press. There is no expectation of prior knowledge about book publishing, and students and scholars at all stages of their career are welcome to attend and ask questions.
