For more than a decade, writers have turned to William Germano for
his insider's take on navigating the world of scholarly publishing.
A professor, author, and thirty-year veteran of the book industry,
Germano knows what editors want and what writers need to know to
get their work published. Today there are more ways to publish than
ever, and more challenges to traditional publishing. This
ever-evolving landscape brings more confusion for authors trying to
understand their options. The third edition of Getting It Published
offers the clear, practicable guidance on choosing the best path to
publication that has made it a trusted resource, now updated to
include discussions of current best practices for submitting a
proposal, of the advantages and drawbacks of digital publishing,
and tips for authors publishing textbooks and in open-access
environments. Germano argues that it's not enough for authors to
write well--they also need to write with an audience in mind. He
provides valuable guidance on developing a compelling book
proposal, finding the right publisher, evaluating a contract,
negotiating the production process, and, finally, emerging as a
published author. "This endlessly useful and expansive guide is
every academic's pocket Wikipedia: a timely, relevant, and ready
resource on scholarly publishing, from the traditional monograph to
the digital e-book. I regularly share it, teach it, and consult it
myself, whenever I have a question on titling a chapter, securing a
permission, or negotiating a contract. Professional advice simply
does not get any savvier than this pitch-perfect manual on how to
think like a publisher."--Diana Fuss, Princeton University
