Fordham University Press (FUP) and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences are sponsoring a panel discussion on the ins and outs of new book publishing. The event, titled ‘The Changing Landscape of Scholarly Publishing: Best Practices for Getting Your Book Published’, is scheduled for March 24, 2010, at the Pope Auditorium, Lowenstein Center, on the Lincoln Center campus.
Panelists include Jennifer Crewe, associate director and editorial director, Columbia University Press; William Germano, professor of English literature, dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art; Emily Loose, senior editor, Free Press (Simon & Schuster); Alan Most, textbook editor, John Wiley & Sons; and Niko Pfund, vice president and publisher of the Academic and Trade Division, Oxford University Press in New York.
Among the topics that panelists will explore are: what subjects are currently appealing to publishers; tips on proposal submissions; expected turnaround times from submission to approval; book models for new authors—cloth, paper, dual edition; and what faculty should expect from publishers with respect to editorial support, print run and marketing. There will also be a discussion on e-books versus print, further digital strategies and the role of university presses and commercial presses in scholarly publishing.
