The Centre for Public, International and Comparative Law & the HDR office invite you to a seminar titled, Publishing a Book.
If you are thinking about publishing a book, the following questions may come to mind:
- Who should I approach with an idea for a book?
- Can I re-publish my articles in book format?
- Am I wasting my time writing a book proposal?
- What does a publisher look for in a book proposal or manuscript?
- Who decides whether or not my book is published?
Purpose
These and other questions will be discussed in a lunchtime seminar addressed to HDR students and ECRs (though all are welcome!). It is an informal session with the purpose of making the processes of publishing (e.g. submission, review and decision making) more transparent.
Refreshments will be provided.
Format: 20 minute presentation followed by Q&A.
Please RSVP to events@law.uq.edu.au

During her studies she worked for five years at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg. Her academic and particularly comparative knowledge means that she is uniquely placed to work with authors of both common law and civil law backgrounds.
