[Commlist] Call for Proposals: Experimental Book Pilot Projects

Thu Oct 05 21:08:00 GMT 2023







The Open Book Futures (OBF) project isdelighted to announce support and funding for three experimental book publishing pilots. These book pilot projects will be developed with OBF’s Experimental Publishing Group supported byCoventry University and will be overseen by the Open Book Collective.

*We are inviting individuals and project teams to submit proposals for experimental, long-form scholarly book projects. *

Visit our open call to find out more _https://copim.pubpub.org/pub/expub-pilot-call/_

*Deadline for applications: 22 November 2023*

The call is open to individuals looking to collaborate and to already formed project teams (which can consist of authors, publishers, open source technology and software providers, librarians, and designers). If you apply without a complete project team, we will work with you to find suitable collaborators. Work on the pilots must start on 1 April 2024 and the pilots must be finalised by 1 April 2026.

Experimental book publishing can include experiments with the form and format of the scholarly book; with the various (multi)media through which books can be performed; and with the ways in which scholarship can be produced, disseminated, and consumed, as well as reviewed, reused, and interacted with. It can also include experiments that reimagine the relationalities that constitute academic writing, research, and publishing, and that speculate on what the future of the book and the humanities might look like beyond the printed codex-format as the standard publication choice.

We want to work closely with authors, presses, and technology providers to create pilot projects and communities of practiceto explore how to bestenable and support experimental book publishing together, whileseeking to increase the recognition given to work published in non-traditional ways.

Open Book Futures (OBF)is the successor to the Community-led OpenPublishingInfrastructures for Monographs (COPIM)projectwhich ran from 2019 to 2023. COPIMsupported three experimental publishing pilot projects in collaboration with publishers, authors, designers, and tooland platformproviders.
