This workshop will offer participants an insider's perspective on the changing climate of scholarly publishing in the humanities and provide an overview of the key issues associated with publishing with an academic press. Questions to be considered include how to identify an appropriate press; effective ways to approach a publisher; how to "pitch" your book; the kind of information to include in a prospectus; and the difference between a doctoral dissertation and a book. Goodman will also take a look at what can be expected if a publisher is interested in your book, from the review and approval process, all the way to book's publication (whether published on paper, electronically, or both).
