Introduction to Publishing Scholarly Monographs Online
This workshop will provide an overview of standard processes with a focus on best practices for graduate students who will be conceptualizing, pitching, contracting, and then publishing a first scholarly monograph. The publishing process will be broken down into its constituent parts and guidance will be offered so as to increase chances of success at each stage. Common misconceptions will be addressed, and routine faux pas will be highlighted so as give advantage to SHARPGrads in the academic literary marketplace. Handouts/take-away files will be distributed, and the detailed discussions will be situated in the context of the larger economy of higher education.
