FAQs for Interested Authors


SCHEDULING: Gutman Library book talks are scheduled on weekdays. Whether lunchtime or evening time, our events are open to the public. Book talks typically run for 1-1.5 hours, depending on your preference. In order to maximize attendance and engagement, we will be scheduling only up to four book talks per term and only during the specific time frames that we have found work best for attracting the most attendees. 

FORMAT: Book Talks typically take the form of an author giving a presentation about the book, the research process, the findings, etc., followed by a Q&A. However, the format of the event is up to the author. If you would prefer a panel presentation, whether one or more other colleagues, an interactive learning activity, formal reading, etc. we are happy to accommodate. We will coordinate with a local bookstore to sell copies of the book before/after the event; it would be up to you if you would like to do a formal book signing. For virtual events, we will coordinate with your publisher.

CATERING: Gutman Library will work with each author (or their publisher) and any other related campus offices to determine if catering is possible.

TRAVEL: Unfortunately, we are not able to cover or reimburse travel or lodging expenses for authors.
