Ken Wissoker is Senior Executive Editor at Duke University Press where, since arriving in 1991, he has published over 1400 books. Ken acquires books across the humanities, social sciences, and the arts, by authors like Stuart Hall, Jack Halberstam, and Sara Ahmed. Recently, Ken has been vocal about his concern for the financial future of academic publishing - and there are few people who know more about the subject. In this episode, he talks about how the finances of a press work, and how authors should think about the funding of their books, from subventions to list price.Mentioned:Siobhan Angus, <a href="https://dukeupress.edu/camera-geologica" target="_blank">Camera Geologica: An Elemental History of Photography</a>Emilie Boone, <a href="https://dukeupress.edu/a-nimble-arc" target="_blank">A Nimble Arc: James Van Der Zee and Photography</a>A few of Ken's other appearances:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52PR11MgTn0" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52PR11MgTn0</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX0jsOD4wkA" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX0jsOD4wkA</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAYtyKb_VJE" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAYtyKb_VJE</a>Also a useful read:<a href="https://dukeupress.wordpress.com/2017/09/14/editorial-director-ken-wissoker-on-why-he-loves-peer-review/" target="_blank">https://dukeupress.wordpress.com/2017/09/14/editorial-director-ken-wissoker-on-why-he-loves-peer-review/</a>Email us at podcast@textformations.com.
