Spring 2011 Getting Published Workshop

The Hall Center offered its popular Getting Published Workshop in Spring 2011, co-directed by Brian Donovan, Sociology, and Laura Mielke, English. Nine KU faculty members from humanities and social science departments who were working on publishing their first scholarly book were selected to participate. The principal goal of the workshop was to ensure that each participant completed an effective book prospectus for submission to a prospective publisher. After introductory sessions on the process of revising the dissertation and then proposing a first book, participants drafted and read one another’s proposals and provided constructive criticism under the guidance of the workshop leaders.
