You may have worked on dozens of traditionally published book manuscripts, but do you know what it’s like from the author’s side of the project? What hurdles did your author face before the manuscript came to you? And what’s to come after you’ve completed your part? Understanding the context of a book project can help you work more effectively and smoothly with your authors.
Join fellow editor and newly published author Erin Brenner for a unique perspective on the publishing process. Erin will give a brief overview of her experience publishing with the University of Chicago Press and then open the floor up for your questions. No question is too small!
