Publishing book-length manuscripts is the ultimate writing experience. A textbook, monograph, or other scholarly book provides readers with an in-depth examination of a topic while gaining recognition for the author. Writ-ing books is a more involved process than writing articles and enters unfamiliar territory for many academics. This panel introduced the mechanics of book publishing: preparing book proposals, terms and conditions of contracts, working with contributors on edited books, working with authors (from the publisher's perspective), working with editors (from the author's perspective), indexing, and time man-agement for meeting deadlines. The panel con-sisted of two editors and four authors.
