The Seminar “Book Publishing with Springer” will take place on 24 January, from 6 – 7PM, in Classroom USJ106 – Ilha Verde Campus.
About the Talk:
This session will focus on book publishing with Springer, with a spotlight on Hong Kong and Macau. The presenters will demarcate and demystify the book proposal process, outlining the differences between Open Access and non-OA publishing models. The workshop will highlight key considerations for developing the book proposal, and the steps involved in revising the dissertation into a monograph. Several regionally-focused series in the humanities and social sciences will also be showcased. Attendees are welcome to meet with the editor and editorial director afterwards to discuss their work.
