FESR2023: Meet The Publisher

The Festival of Early Stage Researchers

Get the inside track on contemporary academic book publishing from our expert panel session.

The Festival of Early Stage Researchers 2023

The Festival of Early Stage Researchers (FESR) is our way to say thank you to the largest community of researchers in the UK. It is an annual week-long festival, recognising and celebrating the invaluable contribution from UCL’s early-stage community.

What do commissioning editors look for in a book proposal? How does the peer review and selection process work? What can professional publishers offer authors? Building on the success of last year’s panel event 'Turning Your PhD into a Book' with writers, UCL’s Writing Lab returns to FESR with a practical inside look at the process from the publishers' perspective. Get the inside track on contemporary academic book publishing from our expert panel session, followed by Q&amp;A. Panellists: Rebecca Barden (Senior Publisher, Visual Arts and Film, Bloomsbury Publishing), Pat Gordon-Smith (Commissioning Editor for Education, History and Social Sciences, UCL Press) and Michael Sharp (Ancient History and Classics Publisher, Cambridge University Press)Chair: Katharine Reeve, Editor in Residence, The Writing Lab, UCL
