From Dissertation to Book: A Panel Discussion with University and Trade Press Editors

Hoping to eventually publish your dissertation as a book? Our panelists from university and trade presses will give you guidance on how to craft a proposal, how to select and approach editors, and how to transform your project from a dissertation into a book. Demystify the process during a Q&A and discussion with:

--Anne Savarese, Publisher, Princeton University Press (literary studies)
--Jim Lance, Senior Editor, Cornell University Press (anthropology, sociology, geography)
--Ian Van Wye, Associate Editor, Farrar, Straus and Giroux (literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, intellectual and global history, cultural criticism)

Note: GSAS PhD students can also book a 15-minute one-on-one meetings with an editor prior to the panel. See the final question in the registration form for details.

Intended Audience: This event is open to graduate and professional school students, postdoctoral scholars, and junior faculty in the humanities, social sciences, and interdisciplinary studies.
