Publishing a book involves a hidden curriculum of knowledge that some have more access to than others—especially those who went elite institutions or whose advisors are well-known and well-connected.

One of the primary goals of this podcast is to help equalize the playing field for academic authors by creating more transparency about each step of the book writing and publishing process. 

I want to shine a light on areas that are often obscured from public view and that you can’t find satisfactory answers to just by googling. I wish it could be that easy! And in fact, it should be that easy, but I digress.

 My hope is to give everyone—particularly folks from marginalized communities and first-generation scholars—the tools and information to fulfill your book writing dreams.

On this episode I’ve got answers to this burning question and more!
