Publishing Workshop for Early Career Researchers

Are you an Early Career Researcher undertaking research in Humanities or Social and Behavioural Sciences?

OUP is delighted to organize an online workshop for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) with the aim to promote better understanding of the research book publishing process and provide an opportunity to connect attendees with editors at OUP. During the workshop, ECRs will hear from Acquisition Editors and Project Editors, who will share advice and guidance on:

1. Writing and submitting a book proposal
2. Navigating the peer review and approvals process
3. An overview of what to expect once a book is approved, including contracts, manuscript submission, and production
4. Promoting your work

There will be lots of time for Q&A, and attendees are encouraged to bring any and all questions and concerns they might have to the conversation.

After the Q&A, there will be an activity carried out in smaller groups to help attendees develop their skills in pitching projects and structuring a book proposal. Each group will be facilitated by an editor from OUP, with opportunity for feedback and discussion and a chance to network with fellow ECRs.

Please note that that places are limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
