Product Description

Product Description

An insider's guide to academic publishing that tells you how publishing works and how you can make it work for you. Why do some editors choose some books and decline others? How does a writer decide where to submit a project? How does the review process work and is it necessary? William Germano, a veteran editor of academic and commercial publications, answers these questions and more, offering encouragement, tips and warnings along the way. This guide walks you through the publishing process from start to finish. Learn how to think about your book before you submit it and find out what you need to know about your contract. It also provides advice on working with other publishing professionals on matters of design, marketing and publicity.

5.0 out of 5 stars An expert guide to publishing, 7 Jul 2001
By Ken Friedman "Ken Friedman" (Oslo, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
William Germano became an expert in scholarly book publishing as editor in chief of Columbia University Press. Today, he is vice president and publishing director of Routledge. This book summarizes the most important lessons of a life in editorial development.

Germano explains book development from two perspectives. As an editor and publisher, he explains what a book must do for the press that releases it. He helps aspiring authors - and editors - to understand their role in the process of creating and developing the book a publisher will produce.

Germano's easygoing, informative style reminds me of the old-fashioned editors and publishers I have known. This is an overview of working with books intended for a scholarly or scientific audience. It is a systematic guidebook to the publishing process. It explains what publishers do, how a manuscript must be prepared, how to select a publisher, and how to propose a book. Then it explains how to work with publisher or editor from proposal to finished product.

First-time authors and editors will find this a valuable resource that helps beginners to avoid common mistakes. Seasoned authors will find value in the concise, well structured tour of the publishing process.
