Alumni Authors' Project

The NYU Professional Bookstore has recently created an alumni authors section and encourages alumni who have written books to submit them for consideration. Once submitted, the Bookstore will review books to ensure they are reasonably priced and appropriate for a retail outlet. Once books have passed the review, they will be shelved. Please send your name and the title of your book to bookstore.law.alumni@nyu.edu.
