Event details
Nick Wolterman, Senior Commissioning Editor for International Development, African Studies, and Economics at Zed Books / Bloomsbury Academic is coming to give a short, in-person presentation on how to pitch a book idea to a publisher.
Nick will also explain how the peer review and contracting processes work, and what to expect on the road to your book’s publication. He’ll also offer tips and tricks to remember along the way, and he’ll speak a bit about the Zed Books reputation for foregrounding critical approaches, Bloomsbury Academic’s division-wide interdisciplinary, SDGs-driven strategy, and other sorts of approaches and projects that Zed/Bloomsbury might be particularly interested in.
The talk is particularly targeted at PhDs and ECRs, but all are welcome.
There will also be an editorial drop-in session on 4 December in AEW/009 (Alcuin East Wing). Nick will be there from 9am to 5pm to speak with researchers interested in discussing potential books or book series projects they think might find a good home at Zed/Bloomsbury. Nick is also happy to talk about the history of Zed and of Zed-at-Bloomsbury, about the sorts of approaches and projects he is actively seeking out, or forms of collaboration other than books and book series.
