Funded Activity Summary

From Thesis to Book: issues in commercial publication of scholarly work. Commercial trade and scholarly publishers constantly receive book proposals based on research theses, yet still struggle to find non-fiction manuscripts with both sales potential and high writing and research quality. What are the characteristics of such manuscripts? How are they developed? How might universities be involved? This project will address these issues through an integrated programme of research and research training, awarding a scholarship for doctoral research into Australian non-fiction publishing, and writing residencies for recent PhD graduates. Outcomes will include manuscripts for publication by the industry partner, discussion papers, public lectures and intensive training seminars.
