Excellent summary of the event “From Research to Publication: turning ideas into prize-winning history books”. I couldn’t attend the event, but I’ve gained good insights about current trends and future directions for publication from the summary.
We are so glad this was useful to you and sorry to hear you couldn’t attend Catherine. We will be hosting many more professional development and history-related events in future, and stay tuned for History Week 2017! 🙂 http://www.historyweek.com.au
