Visiting Oxford University Press to discuss The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World

Today I had the privilege of visiting Oxford University Press in Oxford (UK) to discuss The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World. I met with Julia Steer, the Senior Acquisitions Editor (Linguistics) (https://academic.oup.com/pages/contact-us/find-an-editor/linguistics) and Vicki Sunter, Senior Assistant Commissioning Editor (Linguistics). I have been working with 216 authors on 80 chapters - and it is close to submission. Julia was very encouraging about our work to date and that the Handbook will be a great resource for the world. I look forward to finalising the content after making Julia's minor suggestions, then working with Vicki as we go into production.

Sun on a Sunday afternoon in Oxford

I arrived in sunny Oxford on Sunday afternoon before my meeting with Oxford University Press on Monday. The golden sandstone was stunning. I am not quite sure how students remove their bikes from the pile!
