Polishing Your Book: Working with an Academic Editor
Tuesday, April 13, 2:00-4:00pm
At this event, we will chat with a panel of four freelance academic editors with various disciplinary backgrounds, all of whom work with academic writers from a range of fields in the humanities and social sciences. The panelists are:
- Christopher Ahn, former Senior Acquisitions editor at SUNY Press, and freelance academic editor https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-ahn-136a294/
- Melanie Magidow, freelance academic editor https://www.melaniemagidow.com/editing/
- Erin K. Maher, freelance academic editor and adjunct professor https://erinkmaher.com/about-me/
- Ricardo Stanton-Salazar, former university professor, and freelance academic editor https://www.stanton-salazar.com/
At this facilitated panel discussion, Christopher, Melanie, Erin, and Ricardo will share with you their thoughts about the different kinds of editing available to academic authors and offer general editing advice. At this event the panel will also share out and critique in real time an actual (anonymized) book proposal written by a faculty member in the College. If you would your own book proposal to be critiqued at this event, please email Philip Hollingsworth pholling@email.unc.edu indicating that. We are looking for a volunteer!
