Dr. Antje Gamble<p>This was a big year for me as an academic. My first book with Routledge came out! <br>So many people supported this work: friends, mentors, archivists, and many more.

RudyDoesBooks<p>This morning’s email brought a manuscript I was scheduled to index *last August.*</p><p>This is why I tell early career researchers who need a book for tenure that they need to start planning their book very early. Like, month one of the first year post-degree. Starting to revise the dissertation or drafting a new project to book-in-hand is reliably four years.</p><p>But sometimes, it can be longer.</p><p>Now is a great time to book me for September/October to start planning your first book.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/editing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>editing</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/tenure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tenure</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/firstbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firstbook</span></a> @scholarlypublishing</p>
