Do you have questions regarding what exactly  the publishing process entails and the difference between a dissertation and a published monograph? This event may be for you!
The Central Asian Studies RIW is pleased to announce an upcoming event discussing the process for publishing a monograph, and the publishing process in general, with Marcella Landri, the Acquiring Editor for Asian Studies and African Studies at the University of Michigan Press.  The event will be held on January 24th at 4:00pm in 1014 Tisch and will last for roughly an hour. Free food will be provided. 
Marcella will talk for about 10-15 minutes regarding the process for submitting a successful book proposal,  publishing timelines, the publishing process, what working  with editors looks like, advice regarding selecting a publisher, and, in general, the differences between the dissertation and book manuscript.  We will hope to detail the process from dissertation to published monograph. Following this, we will have an open q and a discussion where anyone present can ask Marcella any questions they may have regarding publishing. 
We hope to see you there!
