Library presents inside look at publishing process

On Oct. 13, the McGoogan Library will present an inside look at the publishing process from those who know it best — the publishers and editors.

Last year, a single event was held with multiple publishers. Now it’s time for a deep dive on these topics. Multiple sessions will be held, which will delve in to specific issues and provide more content and discussion opportunities.

Experts from Elsevier will be on hand to offer in-depth information on the publishing process, including the review process, how to get a paper noticed, book publishing and publishing issues and trends.

Speakers are:

  • Stefanie Jewell-Thomas, executive publisher, Health Sciences, Elsevier
  • Stacy Masucci, senior acquisitions editor (books), Elsevier
  • Vindra Dass, publisher, Health Sciences, Elsevier

Office hours also will be held, giving participants the opportunity to have one-on-one discussions with the presenters.

Register for individual sessions or watch the live-stream webcast from anywhere. (The archived links will be made available to registrants.)
