\"Publishing<\/a>

Workshops on Nov. 26 and Dec. 4 will help prospective authors navigate the publishing world.<\/p><\/div>\n

Few things are as satisfying as seeing your name in print.<\/p>\n

But if you’re about to sign a book contract or hope to one day, there’s a lot to consider.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the workshop Contracts, copyright and confusion: How to make sense of your book publishing contract is being held Monday to help prepare prospective authors for the publishing process.<\/p>\n

The workshop will cover the terms you can expect to see in a book publishing contract and what surprises may occur. It will also answer common questions about control over cover art, copyright permissions for third party materials and what happens when a book goes out of print.<\/p>\n

The free session is open to faculty and students and will feature guest speaker Lisa Quinn, the acquisitions editor at Wilfrid Laurier University Press.<\/a> In her role, Quinn acquires and develops manuscripts in the humanities and social sciences. She has also taught courses in publishing and media, and is a member of the Library Relations Committee for the American Association of University Presses.<\/p>\n

The workshop runs from noon to 1:30 p.m. in TH253 and registration is required online<\/a> or by email.<\/a><\/p>\n

A workshop on how to get published is also planned for Tuesday, Dec. 4.<\/p>\n

The session, which will feature a panel discussion with editors and publishers from the University of Toronto<\/a> and Oxford University<\/a> presses, will cover submitting a proposal, the peer review process, revisions, the difference between a thesis and book, and publishing timelines, among other topics.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a graduate student just beginning your professional career or a seasoned academic, this workshop will provide invaluable insights into publishing both scholarly works and textbooks.
\nHow to get published: Insights from leading university press publishers runs from 11:40 to 1 p.m. in TH 253.<\/p>\n
