This workshop, led by Ben Doyle (publisher for literature with Palgrave) and Amyrose McCue Gill (editor and translator with TextFormations), is aimed at scholars with monograph projects (in mind or in hand) who want to know more about 1. How to pitch a book to a publisher; 2. How to revise a dissertation or manuscript for publication; 3. How to handle the peer review process; and 4. How to prepare for production and publication. We will also touch on edited volumes and on developmental editing but there will be time for lots of Q & A. Come with questions about any and all aspects of publishing books.
