As an early kickoff to University Press Week (November 8th – 14th), two UIP staff members are participating in an informative conversation about publishing with an academic press.

Daniel Nasset, acquisitions editor, and Michael Roux, marketing manager, will give brief presentations on their roles at the University of Illinois Press on Friday, November 6 on the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign campus.

Discussion will focus on the connection between acquisitions and marketing, and how understanding this relationship can assist authors in establishing and maintaining a productive working relationship with an academic press.

Craig Koslofsky (History; Germanic Languages & Literatures) and Carol Symes (History; Medieval Studies), OVCR External Grants Faculty Advisors, and Maria Gillombardo, OVCR External Funding Coordinator, will facilitate the session.
