The Art of the Book Deal
Jennifer Ouellette, Science Journalist in Residence, KITP

Popular science books represent a strong, stable market in the publishing industry, and editors are always on the lookout for scientists with strong communication skills who can convey complex topics to a general audience. This workshop will offer tips on landing a book contract. Where do you find a good agent? What makes a good book proposal? What’s a reasonable amount to expect as a book advance? How do royalties work? Bring your questions and book ideas. I will be happy to work individually with anyone who’s interested in developing a solid book proposal.
