NATS Books Program Editorial Board
The NATS Books Program editorial board works together to help manage and oversee the copublishing agreement between NATS and Bloomsbury.
The editorial board comprises a group of experienced scholars and researchers representing a variety of disciplines and experiences. They solicit and generate ideas for new books and evaluate proposals. The editorial board works with prospective authors to shape their idea into a proposal that can be successfully published.
