"Getting Published" Workshop

You should publish that!                   

 

Are you keen, but have little idea of where to begin? Should you publish a journal article? Have you considered publishing the research you are doing (or did) for your Masters or Ph.D? If so, which journal? What format should the article be in? How do you decide? What is the best way to approach book publishers? What are they looking for? 
 
If you have any of these questions then come to a special workshop that will address them. All of the speakers have considerable experience in academic publishing, both in monographs and peer-reviewed journals.

Getting your ideas published

Registered participants should come ready to give a 3-5 minute presentation, briefly describing a current research project, and possible plans to publish it. Bringing a draft manuscript (or at least an outline) is highly desirable.
 
The goal is that by the end of the workshop participants will be matched up with a senior academic who will act as a mentor to help reach this goal.

This half-day workshop will provide tips and encouragement for academics and post-graduate students at theological colleges and universities who would like to publish in international peer-reviewed journals, monographs, and commentaries. Younger scholars will be paired with mentors who have experience in academic publishing.  This workshop will run on the morning of the first day (9.30am–1:00pm Tuesday 29th June).  

The speakers for Getting Published include:

Jim Eisenbraun  Jim is qualified to speak on two aspects of the publication process. On the one hand, he is CEO of Eisenbrauns Books. On the other hand, he has studied under the eminent Hebrew scholar Dr David Noel Freedman. Jim will speak on getting published from a publisher’s perspective.
