IAMHIST Online: Publication Avenues

Are you a PhD student or early career researcher (ECR) considering pitching a book proposal to a publisher or an article to a journal based on your research into film, television and/or media history? Or perhaps you might wish to disseminate your research ideas in a blog or review a book for a journal that relates to it?

If so, this ‘IAMHIST Online’ publication workshop offers you the opportunity to join senior commissioning editors from different publishing houses: Maryse Elliott (Amsterdam University Press), Rebecca Barden (Bloomsbury), and Matthew Frost (Manchester University Press), alongside Llewella Chapman (IAMHIST Blog editor), Ciara Chambers and James Chapman (book reviews editor and editor of the Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television) to discuss different avenues and ideas that you have for publishing your research.

Schedule:

14.00-15.00: Welcome and presentations from Maryse Elliott, Rebecca Barden and Matthew Frost offering information on relevant subject areas and series offered by Amsterdam University Press, Bloomsbury and Manchester University Press, as well as their ‘Top 10 Tips’ for approaching and pitching book proposals to commissioning editors. Followed by a Q&A.

15.00-15.15: Llewella Chapman, Ciara Chambers and James Chapman will outline potential avenues of publication offered by IAMHIST, including the IAMHIST Blog and book reviews and articles published in the Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television.
