The publishing process may seem confusing or overwhelming at first. How do you identify potential publications or write a proposal that will catch the attention of a busy editor? This workshop, led by John Warren of the Mason Publishing Group, will introduce faculty and students to the wide range of publishing opportunities, discuss the elements of an effective proposal, and provide steps for preparing academic papers for publication. Participants will learn how to write query letters, work effectively with editors, and participate in the broader academic community. John Warren has previously worked in publishing at the RAND Corporation and Georgetown University Press and brings a wealth of publishing knowledge to this event.

The location of this event will be located in the School of Policy, Government, and International Affairs Student Services workshop room (Founders Hall, 556) and is open to all students in any program.
