The difference between trade and academic books is not always easy to discern, but the key typically lies within the book's intended audience. Is the book going to reach a wide audience (topically or by way of its writing style)? Or will it resonate most w/ those in the academy?

100

Paths in Publishing @pathsinpub.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Happy #TermTuesday! 📖👀 Trade books can be found on many university press's lists, as UPs can publish for trade and academic markets. Many UPs have a regional trade list w/ books specific to their geographic location.

A text box graphic defining the term "Trade book" as "Trade books are books written for a general audience and have the potential to reach a wider market. Unlike a standard monograph, trade books are not written for a specific academic or professional audience. Authors of trade books generally write in an accessible style, with less of a focus on scholarly jargon and references, and more on readability for those outside of the academy."

It's #TermTuesday and we're back to talk about edited volumes! These books are comprehensive volumes that explore a singular topic from the different perspectives of the volume's contributors.

Text box graphic defining the term "Edited Volume" as: "Edited volumes, also known as edited collections or contributed volumes, are books that contain chapters written by multiple contributors on a specific topic.Edited volumes will have at least one volume editor who will manage the details of the publication process in collaboration with the press."

Happy #TermTuesday! Monographs generally comprise a bulk of many university press's lists as they are books based on extensive research, written for an academic audience, and provide a detailed exploration of a subject. NB: University presses publish a wide array of other books, too!!

WOW! Happy September! It's #TermTuesday! Exclusive review can give editors a fair opportunity to consider a project, especially in competitive situations. Exclusive review does not mean either party, press or author, is committed to publishing the book.

A text box graphic defining the term "Exclusive Review" as "When a press accepts a manuscript for peer review, they may request that an author pull the project from other presses if the author has submitted the project to multiple publishers for consideration. This is called exclusive peer review or exclusive submission."

Some books might feature a gallery of images rather than having the images spread out through the text. Including a gallery is usually a strategic decision depending on the project, as galleries can affect production costs & affect the reader's navigation of the text. 📖 #TermTuesday 📖

A text box graphic defining "Gallery" as "A gallery (or gallery of images) refers to a group of images that are placed together in a book as opposed to being interspersed throughout the book. When used, galleries are frequently found in the middle or back of a book."

We are back from the weekend with another #TermTuesday! Last week we covered what a book series is, so we're following that up by talking about series editors and what they do.

A text box graphic defining the term "Series Editor(s)" as: "Series editors work with an acquiring editor at a press to provide guidance on projects in the series. Common responsibilities include promoting the series at conferences, soliciting book proposals and manuscripts from potential authors, evaluating submissions, suggesting peer reviewers, assessing peer reviews, providing developmental support for projects, and helping to promote the published books within scholarly communities."

Happy #TermTuesday, folks! Book series are common among presses and play varying roles in their list of publications (depending on the press & the active series they have). Series are a great way to establish niches, revitalize topics, and make space for underrepresented voices.

A text bob describing the term "Book Series" as: "A book series publishes stand-alone books that, taken together, contribute to a shared, defined conversation. This conversation might be disciplinary, geographic, formal, thematic, and/or methodological. By creating a dedicated space for books that share a common concern or approach, a book series can make an impact on a different scale than a single book."

Happy #TermTuesday, folks! Extended text is used to describe complex figures in addition to alt-text (when needed).

A text box defining the term "Extended Text" (also called long descriptions) as the descriptive counterpart to alt-text as per accessibility standards. Extended text is meant to provide a longer, more detailed description of complex figures when necessary. Unlike alt-text, which has a length limit, extended text can be as long as necessary to explain the figure in detail and its relevance to the manuscript. Extended text does not need to be included in the manuscript if the alt-text sufficiently describes the figure.

010

Paths in Publishing @pathsinpub.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

#TermTuesday repost! We forgot to include alt text in this yesterday and were helpfully reminded by some folks online. Many thanks for your patience and understanding! Guidelines have been established so alt-text is written appropriately. And who writes alt text might vary from press to press.

A text box graphic describing the term "Alternative text" or "alt text" as a description of the appearance and function of any figure (graphs, charts, photographs, illustrations, etc) in a manuscript. Alt text is a primary component of accessibility standards, ensuring those using a screen reader can understand what the image is and why it is included in the manuscript without having to see it.
