SUMMARY:Conversation on the Commons: Putting the Public in Publishing History
DESCRIPTION:Putting the Public in Publishing History\nMarch 21\, 2025\n12:00-1:30pm \nThe gold standard of having done research in local history used to be to get it published. Is publishing the imprimatur from the history community that it once was? If you want to bring your information to the public\, or sell it\, might you as well create a website or (gasp!) self-publish? Or does it have advantages to having your or your organization’s book published by an actual publisher? What does it take to get a publisher interested in your work? And what does it get you? What series are out there? What trends? Join us for a conversation with and tips from two seasoned pros from the publishing world: Mary Dougherty from the University of Massachusetts Press and Erin Vosgien from Arcadia Publishing. \n  \nRegistration is free. REGISTER HERE! \n  \nWe will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the conversation. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive. This Conversation will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel. Questions? Email commons@masshistoryalliance.org \n  \nAbout our speakers: \nMary Dougherty (she/her/hers) became the third director of UMass Press in 2014.
