Join us in the Murray Room, 5th Floor Lauinger Library, on Friday, December 11, at 10:00 am, for a talk on academic presses and scholarly publishing. Carole Sargent, Director of the Office of Scholarly Publications, and Meg Oakley, Chair of the Scholarly Communication Committee, team up again to introduce you to two university press editors:
Elizabeth Ault, Duke University Press
Areas of Specialization: African Studies, Film, Television, and Media Studies
Sara Jo Cohen, Temple University Press
Areas of Specialization: Music, Literature, Sexuality Studies, and Asian American Studies
They will discuss acquisitions at their respective presses and answer questions about scholarly publishing. Joining the editors for the Q&A will be Richard Brown, Director of Georgetown University Press, and Peter Ginna, who was Editorial Director of the trade division of Oxford University Press for ten years and who is now writing a book titled What Editors Do: The Art, Craft, and Business of Book Editing, to be published by the University of Chicago Press.
RSVP for this event.
If you would like the editors to review your book prospectus ahead of time and possibly discuss it with you during the event, please e-mail it to booklab@georgetown.edu, with the all-caps subject line EDITORS.
