For this workshop, 4–5 UI faculty members will submit book proposal drafts for a collaborative feedback session led by Obermann Editor-in-Residence Sara Jo Cohen from University of Michigan Press on Nov. 5th. The session is designed to help authors write a compelling book proposal, with a focus on crafting a strong pitch, identifying target audiences, and outlining the project’s structure. The workshop’s goal is for participants to walk away with a strong and cohesive book proposal, increasing their chance of securing a book deal. Applications are due Oct. 1 by 5:00 p.m. Faculty members accepted to the workshop will be required to email their 10-page proposal to the Obermann Center by Oct. 22.
