Have you considered publishing that book open access and want to understand your open access book publishing options? Springer Nature and UC Berkeley invite you to join us <https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VhjMRxIhQ3CmhYuPDv0nGw> for a virtual panel discussion. Hear from a panel of Springer Nature Open Access Books Editors in both STM and the Humanities, and a recent author about the process of getting your manuscript published. You’ll come away from this discussion with practical advice about opportunities at UC Berkeley to publish open access books with Springer Nature, and guidance for submitting and revising your work, writing a book proposal, approaching editors, signing your first contract, and navigating the peer review and publication process. While the event is focused on supporting UC Berkeley authors, it is open to all, as other institutions may be interested in entering into open access book agreements with publishers.
