In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I share all the juicy details about what I wish I knew about publishing a book with an academic press without an academic job. This has been a highly requested topic and therefore, I offer detailed advice on the realities of book publishing, including financial considerations, the importance of marketing, and the gatekeeping nature of the publishing industry. I also discuss how publishing a book is more about sharing impactful knowledge than financial gain, revealing my own time, energy, and financial constraints and how risky this book publishing process was for me. I share lots of personal anecdotes, am not afraid to throw some shade at the gatekeepers, and end by expressing a heartfelt sense of gratitude to my community for supporting me in ordering Is Grad School For Me?
