Application to Critical Book Lab is due on March 1, 2024, with awards announced later that month and the workshop held the following fall or spring. Applicants are requested to think carefully about timing and whether they will have a complete, or nearly complete, manuscript for discussion in 2024-25.
Applicants should provide a brief CV (maximum 5 pages), state the tentative title of the book, provide an abstract of 500 words and table of contents, and write a short explanation (maximum 250 words) that names the publisher (if a publishing arrangement has been made), outlines the current status of the book project, provides a list of suggested internal and external readers, and describes any other aspect of the project that the author deems important. Applicants need not be formally affiliated with the Unit at the time of application, but such affiliation is strongly encouraged.
The application portal will open on January 1, 2024.
