Faculty Book Manuscript Review Workshops
The Rockefeller Center offers Dartmouth faculty in the social sciences the opportunity for an interdisciplinary peer review workshop of their book manuscript during the pre-publication stage.
About Manuscript Reviews
Manuscripts selected for participation in a review will be distributed to selected Dartmouth faculty and staff and two to four external reviewers identified by the author. The Rockefeller Center will fund a half day or full day workshop to discuss the work, generally by providing between $2,500-$5,000 to cover travel and accommodation costs for external participants and meals for participants. Workshops are generally organized by faculty with their Department Administrator, though the Rockefeller Center may be able to provide some additional administrative support as well.
