About the project
The Office of the Provost Vice Principal (Academic) (OPVPA) is excited to launch a new initiative designed to support the scholarship of pre-tenured faculty researchers in ‘book fields’ who are in the final stages of manuscript production.
This project is intended to provide a collaborative, collegial space for junior faculty to receive constructive feedback to revise their first manuscript for publication and to promote connections with senior faculty within the university and in their discipline more broadly.
Reviewers, who will be selected by the participant and invited by the OPVPA, will closely read the draft manuscript, and deliver informed and detailed feedback to the author at an in-person workshop, with the goal of providing specific recommendations for improvement to the monograph, readying it for submission to a publisher. After receiving feedback from reviewers, participants will have an opportunity to gain experience in the world of academic publishing.
