I mentioned in my #introduction post that I have been working on a few things for the last 6-7 months. The first thing is now out! The CEU Press is starting a #podcast series! I will talk to people about the various aspects of academic #publishing, from #bookproposal to #peerreviews to the marketing of books. In the first episode I sit down with Frances Pinter and Emily Poznanski to talk about the past, present and future of the CEU Press. Give it a listen! https://podcasts.ceu.edu/content/ceu-press-podcast-series #UP #UPress
