Germano, Abstract

Germano, W. (2001),Getting it Published: A Guide for Scholars and Anyone Else Serious about Serious Books, University of Chicago Press, Chicago.

Writing books and getting them published are critical to a scholar's career. Yet graduate school never prepares scholars for that part of their jobs, acknowledges veteran editor William Germano, vice-president and publishing director at Routledge.

From writing and presenting one's manuscript to the functions and responsibilities of publishers, Germano's book offers targeted advice about this vital aspect of scholarship to both would-be academic authors and those who've been through the mill and want to make it easier for themselves the next time around.
