About this Event
UCLA’s Editor-in-Residence program welcomes Leah Pennywark, Humanities Editor at the University of Minnesota Press, for two public events. Scholars at every career stage are invited, especially those preparing a first book. Seating is first come, first served, and we encourage you to RSVP for both events.
Event 1: Publishing Your First Book: Working with Editors
Tuesday 2/23/27, 10–11 AM:
Pennywark will talk about the process of publishing your book with emphasis on working with an editor. She will address questions about book series and series editors, what to expect from an editor, and what roles editors play in publishing your book. She will also offer guidance on writing a book proposal, responding to peer review, and building a relationship with your editor. There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions.
Event 2: Publishing in Gender and Sexuality Studies Today
Tuesday 2/23/27, 4–5:30 PM
Leah Pennywark (Humanities Editor at the University of Minnesota Press) and members from the UCLA community will discuss publishing in gender and sexuality today. We will address topics such as the landscape of publishing in gender and sexuality studies, the market, and writing about gender and sexuality ethically.
