This weekend I head to the annual meeting of the Association of American Religion, held this year October 29-November 1 in Atlanta, Ga. The conference offers many sessions for professors of religious studies, and the topics provide clues for trends that will eventually bubble up into trade publishing. The meeting also features a book exhibit where publishers can pitch professors for course adoptions and sell them books at steep discounts. The scholarly segment of publishing is in the same flux as the rest of the industry, but with some unique challenges—changes in textbook usage and sales of used textbooks; how digital delivery of information will affect tenure, peer review, and monographs. I look forward to meeting with key publishers and taking the pulse of scholarly publishing in religion. –Lynn Garrett
