Writing and publishing an academic book can be challenging, especially within the tenure and promotion process. But it can also be deeply rewarding, particularly in disciplines that expect books. In this panel, Ivan Allen College faculty members will share their experiences and lessons learned from writing their books and navigating the publishing process.
Panelists will discuss practical aspects of book publishing and academic careers, including:
- Strategies for making time to write a book alongside other faculty responsibilities
- Tenure and promotion timelines
- Book contracts (e.g., advance vs. board-approved contracts, author costs, and negotiable terms)
- Publishing second and later books
Please RSVP by Wednesday, Nov. 18.
