Writing for conferences - new book

On behalf of a colleague - Dr Leo Mallette

Conferences are often a researcher's first foray into publishing. Each year, about 50,000 new doctoral graduates arrive to the publishing landscape, most with little or no understanding of how the conference publication process works. And, there have been no publications devoted to this specific subject. Until now.

Greenwood Press is excited to release Writing for Conferences: A Handbook for Graduate Students and Faculty, the first essential guide for graduate students who want to publish the results of the research projects of their graduate program to maximum effect. It explains the conference publication process step-by-step and answers all of the questions asked by students inexperienced in publishing. The book is also a valuable reference manual for previously published authors, providing insightful sections on ethics in publishing, dress and grooming, presentation tips, and networking techniques to develop further research and career opportunities.

Writing for Conferences is a great resource for anyone publishing at a conference event or general readers looking for an easy-to-use reference on the subject.

Writing for Conferences: A Handbook for Graduate Students and Faculty (hardcover, $55.00 paperback, $29.95) is available now on www.abc-clio.com, and through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
