1235 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10019

Moderated by an agent who specializes in history and serious non-fiction, two veteran editors will discuss the elements of trade books with a scholar who has written an award-winning university press book and prominent trade book and a younger scholar publishing her first book with a trade house.   What are the differences between trade and scholarly publishing?  What are the pros and cons of each path?
