Holding a Book Manuscript Workshop – Feb 4., 2025

Session Description

Holding a book manuscript workshop offers a critical opportunity to welcome feedback and input on your near-final book manuscript strengthening and improving it before submission to your scholarly press of choice. However, while the benefits of having a book manuscript workshop are clear, what a book manuscript workshop is or can be is less clear. Should you invite an external reader? How long should the workshop be? When should it be held based on your tenure timeline? 
In this new webinar faculty panelists who have each had a book manuscript will discuss their experiences of having a book workshop and reflect on how the workshops impacted their book manuscript and publishing journeys.

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).
