It complements our usual sessions on “From Dissertation to Book Manuscript” and “Journal Article Publishing.” We are excited that acquisition and series editors from four leading international presses, whose books we are also presenting at the conference, have agreed to participate in this session. They will answer the big question: What do editors look for in a book manuscript? This session serves as a bridge between book writing process, which we regularly teach at the preconference and the final product that we celebrate at the book panels. The roundtable promises to attract early career scholars who are revising their doctoral dissertations into publishable book manuscripts, among other categories of academics looking for credible outlets for their rigorously-researched works.\nPanelists\nChair: Adélékè Adéẹ̀kọ́ (Ohio State University) \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:adeeko.1@osu.edu\" \u0014adeeko.1@osu.edu\u0015\nDiscussants\nElizabeth Ault (Acquisition Editor, Duke University Press) \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:elizabeth.ault@dukeupress.edu\" \u0014elizabeth.ault@dukeupress.edu\u0015\nAtifa Jiwa (Acquisition Editor, Cambridge University Press) \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:ajiwa@cambridge.org\" \u0014ajiwa@cambridge.org\u0015\nOla Uduku and Taibat Lawanson (Co-editors, James Currey Series “Making and Remaking the African City: Studies in Urban Africa”) \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:o.uduku@mmu.ac.uk\" \u0014o.uduku@mmu.ac.uk\u0015, \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:tolawanson@gmail.com\" \u0014tolawanson@gmail.com\u0015\nDerek Peterson (Co-editor, Ohio University Press Series “New African Histories”) \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:drpeters@umich.edu\" \u0014drpeters@umich.edu\u0015\nSession 2 (June 22)\n1:00PM - 2:30PM\nPre-doctoral/Dissertation Completion Fellowship\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85325241737\" \u0014https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85325241737\u0015\nLSA predoctoral fellowship workshop continues the tradition of exposing Africa-based graduate students to scholarship and fellowship opportunities for completing their MA and PhD on the continent.
