Knowledge Mobilization Spotlight: Introduction to Book Publishing

The Office of Research in Education is pleased to announce our next professional development session, taking place on Wednesday, November 19, at 1:00 PM. This session, Introduction to Book Publishing, offers an opportunity for faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students to learn about the publishing process and engage directly with an editor from UBC Press.

Nadine Pedersen, editor at UBC Press, will provide an introductory overview of book publishing, after which participants will have the chance to ask questions and engage in conversation to gain insights from an editor’s perspective.

This event will be completed by a Writing Retreat, inviting participants to put their new insights into action. Details on the writing retreat will be announced soon.

Schedule

The session will begin with a short introductory presentation, followed by a discussion and Q&A with the editor over coffee and canapés.
