Join us for a lively one-hour discussion of the ins and outs of drafting and submitting a book proposal. The conversation will touch on questions such as: How much of a book do you need to have written before you submit a proposal? How is a proposal for an edited book different from a proposal for a single-author text? How do you approach potential publishers at CAA? The event is geared for both published authors transitioning to new book genres and potential first-time authors. Come with questions!
Cher Krause Knight is co-editor of Museums and Public Art? (2018) and A Companion to Public Art (2016) and author of Power and Paradise in Walt Disney's World (2014); and Public Art: Theory, Practice and Populism (2008). Annie Dell'Aria is author of The Moving Image as Public Art: Sidewalk Spectators and Modes of Enchantment (2021).
Open to all those with active PAD Memberships. Join or renew here: https://publicartdialogue.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1
