This workshop, convened by Divine Fuh (CODESRIA) and Stephanie Kitchen (International African Institute) in collaboration with the African Studies Association of Africa brings together publishers, editors and representatives of book series with both published and aspiring academic authors to reflect on their experiences of working on their manuscripts and those of their peers towards publication. It is conceived as an opportunity for early and mid-level career academics and publishers to meet and learn from one another in the interest of improving all our publications.
