From Dissertation to Book
Many graduate students starting their dissertations or on the verge of completing them imagine turning them into their first book but are unsure of what may be involved, or even how to begin. Join UW Press editors Lorri Hagman and Jacqueline Ettinger for an overview of academic book publishing and a discussion of such topics as how successful books differ from dissertations; what presses do, how editors work with authors, and what they expect of them; how to identify and approach an academic press; and emerging topics like e-books and open access. The presentation is targeted at UW graduate students, but other interested members of the UW community are welcome.
Seating is limited, so reserve a seat today.

Authorship and Data Ownership Issues
For both graduate students and postdocs, issues of authorship and data ownership can be complicated. Not all fields have the same approach to authorship (that is co-authoring) and explicit information on who owns data is not always available. In this session the presenters will offer information about authorship and data ownership practices and offer strategies for how to successfully navigate these issues. This session is ideal for postdocs and graduate students in the sciences, health sciences, and social sciences.
