Booked! Academic Publishing Workshop
Through a day of lectures, conversations, and workshops, Booked! offers practical insight into the academic publishing process. Featured academics engage in conversations about navigating key stages of publishing, including securing a book contract, managing writing timelines, and responding to the challenges that arise throughout the process. These events are designed to demystify academic publishing while encouraging interdisciplinary exchange and mentorship across the Tulane community.
