Publishing Your Art Historical Research in the United States by Emily Shapiro

March 31, 2015
Terra Foundation Paris Center & Library

While each journal or book publisher is unique, publishing in the United States does have a common set of conventions and expectations. In this workshop, Emily D. Shapiro, executive editor of the scholarly journal American Art, discusses the mechanics of publishing your art historical research in US-based venues.

The workshop addresses:

  • Basics of preparing a journal article or book manuscript,
  • How to identify and approach publishers,
  • How to maximize the chances of publication, and
  • An overview of the selection and publishing processes.

Designed for doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers of art history seeking to publish their work or in the process of readying a proposal or manuscript, these audio files include Shapiro’s responses to questions posed by workshop attendees.
