FACULTY BOOK WORKSHOPS
WRITING WORKSHOPS & MANUSCRIPT REVIEWS
In workshops I highlight lessons learned from authoring four books and co-editing five. I will focus on:
- WELLNESS & BALANCE: identify areas where faculty must manage stress in the writing and publishing process
- CAREER CONTEXT: offer perspective of a long-time department chair about how to centralize bookwork in your career (before and after promotion)
- DEVELOPMENTAL FEEDBACK: provide general, high-level review of book proposals or manuscripts from the perspective of a series editor at a university press
- TIPS & RESOURCES: identify guides and strategies to demystify the publishing world and help you build relationships with communities and networks
*NOTE: I am a writing consultant, specializing in one-time workshops for academic faculty who are interested in publishing books for scholarly presses. I do not do individual coaching, ghost writing, copy editing, fiction, or individual developmental editing.
Workshops are ideal for formal writing groups, faculty development centers, book fellowship programs, research centers, foundation programs, and centers/departments/colleges that host professional development events for faculty and doctoral students.
