This week our Managing Director Tommi shared some good news from the CVP accounts department!

"I know that royalties for academic authors are never life-changing for them (how I wish this was not true!), but one of the ways our authors can truly change lives with their royalties is to contribute to our annual UNICEF donation."

Understanding tourism’s relationships with culture(s), and vice versa, is of ever-increasing significance in a globalising world.

Tourism and Cultural Change is a series of books that critically examine the complex and ever-changing relationship between tourism and culture(s). The series focuses on the ways that places, peoples, pasts, and ways of life are increasingly shaped, transformed, created and packaged for touristic purposes.

The series examines the ways tourism utilises/makes and re-makes cultural capital in its various guises (visual and performing arts, crafts, festivals, built heritage, cuisine etc.) and the multifarious political, economic, social and ethical issues that are raised as a consequence. Theoretical explorations, research-informed analyses and detailed historical reviews from a variety of disciplinary perspectives are invited to consider such relationships.

Have an idea for a book in this series? Email Commissioning Editor Sarah Williams - [email protected] to discuss your proposal.

At Channel View Publications we're keen to encourage and support early career researchers by publishing books originating from PhD research. We want good research to be widely sold and read; however, this involves considerable work!

We put together some notes designed to help authors revise a thesis for potential publication and guide them through the challenges that need to be overcome in order to make their work accessible to a wider audience.

You can find these notes at the following link (Tips for Turning Your PhD into a Book - Channel View Publications) please feel free to share them widely with students and colleagues:
