Many scholars consider writing books for general audiences but don’t know where or how to begin. We hope you will join us Wednesday, October 2, 2024, as two full-time narrative nonfiction authors present insider knowledge on trade-list writing, including how a trade-list book differs from an academic volume, acquiring an agent, getting a book deal, how to research the market, and refining a topic into a saleable one.

Please join the RSA on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, for a conversation about the weekly bills that chronicled plague and general mortality in London from 1603 to 1752. The Death by Numbers project aims to transcribe and publish the information in these bills in a dataset suitable for computational analysis. Get more information and register for the event on this webpage.
