We’re excited to be leading a workshop at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication on how to write a successful first book proposal—during a pandemic.
Event
Getting a book published during a global pandemic is no small feat. It starts with writing a successful book proposal that takes into account the new world that authors, publishing staff, researchers, and global partners now inhabit.
Learn from Dr. Cathy Hannabach, founder of Ideas on Fire, how to design a flexible writing schedule that fits your life and our ever-changing world, identify presses that are the right fit for your goals, and craft a compelling proposal that captures publishers’ attention.
About Cathy Hannabach
Dr. Cathy Hannabach is the founder and CEO of Ideas on Fire, where she helps progressive, interdisciplinary academics write and publish awesome texts, enliven public conversations, and create more just worlds.
She founded Ideas on Fire to harness the collective expertise of interdisciplinary PhDs and provide the editing, indexing, and consulting help scholars need to create an impact.

Dr. Hannabach is also the author of Blood Cultures: Medicine, Media, and Militarisms (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015), which traces the cultural history of blood as it both enabled twentieth-century US imperialism and was creatively transformed by feminist, anticolonial, anticapitalist, and queer artists and activists, and Book Marketing for Academics (Ideas on Fire, 2016), which teaches you how to harness your resources, skills, and time to build your author platform and get the word out about your new book.
