Synopsis
The biggest hurdle for junior scholars looking to embark on an academic career is to make the transition from PhD candidate to that first (ideally tenured) job. An imperative part of this process is getting published and yet - increasingly - this is becoming something harder to achieve.
This book aims to guide would-be authors through some of the pitfalls and complexities of getting published. In addition, it looks at the changes sweeping through academic publishing and, as a result, discusses self-publishing, e-publishing, web logs, and other alternatives to the traditional publishing model.
Although it is in part a practical guide to navigating all stages of the publication process, Getting Published is not simply another 'how to' guide. Rather, its key concern is to give its readers an understanding of the stages, processes and pitfalls involved in getting from an idea in one's head (or indeed an PhD thesis on one's desk) to a published academic book in a colleague's hand. With better knowledge, would-be authors have greater control over their situation.

Review
I recommend this book for academic authors, especially those in the humanities or social sciences, wanting an insider's view of academic book publishing in the early twenty-first century. For first-time authors, reading this book will clarify a compicated, lengthy process that is only beginnning when the manuscript is finished. Journal of Scholarly Publishing Volume 41, Number 1, October 2009 This attractively written book takes us through the process of production of a scholarly monograph, commencing from the planning process and concluding with delivery. The book will be of great use to first-time writers and especially scholars who wish to convert their thesis into a book. For these scholars, the chapters on book-planning and thesis conversion in Getting Published are, I think, essential reading. But experienced academics will also benefit.
