What I Wish I Knew: Publishing your Second Book – Feb. 6, 2024
Session Description
February 6 2024 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Are you thinking of writing your second book? The second monograph writing endeavour is unique and while you’ve gained skills and insight into the scholarly publishing process from your first book, understanding the distinctions with the second book project will set you up for publishing success.
Panelists will address the relationship between promotion to Professor and publishing their second books; how to navigate changing publishers from the first monograph; and how to conceptualize the second book as compared to the first book. Participants are encouraged to submit questions ahead of time and there will be ample time set aside for Q&A during the session via the chat.
This session is part of the Book Publishing Series. Prior sessions’ recordings are available through the CRIS video library (with UTORid).
