CRIS Faculty Book Proposal Studio – June 2026
To support faculty researchers writing scholarly books, The Centre for Research Innovation & Support (CRIS), is offering a cohort-based program: CRIS Faculty Book Proposal Studio.
The cohort will meet online, twice weekly for two hours. The first hour features activities from the The Book Proposal Book (Portwood-Stacer, 2021) and short ‘Spark Talks’ from University Acquisition Editors. The second hour is dedicated co-working time to propel your book proposal dossier to submission ready status. This interdisciplinary, cohort-based program will provide facilitated group activities and discussions to move from a book project to a submission worthy book proposal packet.
By the end of the program, participants will have:
- Identified target academic press for proposal submission
- Completed draft of a book proposal submission packet that includes:
- A Letter of Inquiry to acquiring editor
- Chapter summaries and titles
- Project description (one sentence + short description)
- Draft book title
- Established regular and consistent writing habits
