Book series: Their rhyme and reason- A Panel of the University of Illinois Press Publishing Symposium
Book series come in all shapes and sizes. Some are short term, bounded series; others continue for decades. What is the purpose and function of a book series? How and why do series get started? How do they change over time? What is the role of the series editor and how does that role vary across series? What books get published in series, and how? What are the benefits of publishing one’s book in a series? This panel brings together editors of several diverse series for a deep dive into this important aspect of academic publishing.

Chair: Daniel Nasset
Panelists: Dan Schiller, Jamie Schultz, Justus Nieland
