Specifically focused on academic book projects (those for students, scholars or practitioners), this interactive workshop session will include tips and advice on framing book proposals, how to choose a publisher, what to consider when developing your ideas and time for questions. The event will showcase real-life examples, and there will be activities for participants to get involved in.
