I received a question on Twitter a few weeks ago that is becoming relevant to more and more scholars as the structure of the academy continues to implode and traditional, full-time faculty employment fades away for a lot of PhDs. A scholar asked whether a university press might want her next book, even if she’s no longer employed in the academy. The questioner already had a book under contract with a university press, but I am regularly asked similar questions by people who are still hoping to find a publisher for their first book and are unsure of their job prospects.
