Description

Celebrate SPS research

Join a panel of SPS academic authors at our event PublishED next Thursday to celebrate their world-leading research, learn about their recent books and find out about working with top publishers. PublishED is an opportunity to come together as a School and recognise our academics’ research, focusing on a selection of the 30+ SPS books published over the pandemic.
 

Learn about academic book publishing

At PublishED, some of the authors will give insight into their books, including:

• The benefits and impact of publishing
• How to get a book published
• How to work with publishers
• The writing and editing process

Whether you’re an academic wanting to find out more about getting published, or work anywhere else in the School and want to learn about SPS research, join us next week.

There’s no need to book - just come along. You’re welcome to drop in and out of the event whenever you like. 

If you have any questions, or dietary or access requirements, please contact Helene Frossling.
