• Thursday March 7, 3:30-5:00 pm in 500 Hall of Languages- Publishing Series with SU Press-Negotiating the Book Publication Contract. Like an academic job offer, the offer of an academic book contract presents opportunities for those with a firm grasp of their bargaining position. What are the standard provisions of an academic book contract? Which clauses are negotiable, and how much wiggle room is there? What exactly is an “advance” contract? This final session in the “Essentials of Academic Publication” series will address these questions, parse the legalese, and help you understand the expectations, for both author and press, that the publication contract enshrines. Alice Pfeiffer and Suzanne Guiod are Director and Editor-in-Chief, respectively, at Syracuse University Press. Register at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PZW8GMV.
