Dates: December 4 - December 31Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
This course is designed for librarians who are considering beginning an academic book project - either as an author or as an editor. We begin with the assumption that you have some experience with smaller projects, like writing a contributed chapter to someone else’s edited book, and are now considering scaling up to a larger project.
By the end of the course, you will have a more clear understanding of what goes into writing or editing a book. Those who are just starting to consider a book project will be able to make a more informed decision about whether/how to proceed. Those who are planning to move forward with a book project will have an opportunity to begin mapping out a strategy and timeline.
Topics covered will include:
-An overview of the process of authoring
-An overview of the process of creating an edited book
-Factors to consider in choosing your own book adventure
-The proposal process
-Giving effective feedback as an editor and getting effective feedback as an author
-Logistical concerns like choosing a publisher and negotiating copyright
-Strategies for planning a timeline and staying on track
