15:00 Roundtable discussion: How to publish your PhD thesis
Chair: Anna-Lise Bobeldijk (UvA). Discussants: Marc Beerens (Uitgeverij Boom), Jeroen Bos (Open Access Officer Radboud University), Natalia Grygierczyk (Director Radboud University Press), Wendel Scholma (Uitgeverij Brill), David Veltman (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen), Kirsten Kamphuis (University of Münster).
What is the best strategy for publishing your PhD thesis and how can you make it happen? The question is easier asked than answered. Partly this has to do with the nature of the genre: originally written as proof of scholarly competence, the PhD thesis does not always make a successful book. Partly, however, it is also a question of subject matter and approach. In this round table we will discuss publication strategies in cultural history at large, exploring relevant questions about aims, practices and timing, such as: What readership, exactly, should you try to address? How do you approach a publisher or series editor? And also on a more strategic level: how could publishing your thesis contribute to shaping your future career? Do you need to be pragmatic and swift, or is it better to revise and rewrite before submitting to a more selective publisher? The round table will include former PhD candidates, professional publishers, and academic editors.
