Getting Published and Yet – Increasingly – This Is Becoming Something Getting Harder to Achieve Marie Lenstrup Gerald Jackson & More than another ‘how to’ guide. 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 Getting harder to achieve. This book aims to guide both young and more experienced scholars through some of the pitfalls and complexities of getting published. Furthermore, the Published far-reaching changes affecting academic publishing (e-publishing, new printing technologies, Creative Getting Published Commons licensing, the collapse of the library market, A Companion for the Humanities etc.) are discussed, focusing on their future effect on and Social Sciences academic authors. 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 Gerald Jackson and Marie Lenstrup stages, processes and pitfalls involved in getting from an idea in one’s head (or indeed a 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. www.niaspress.dk Jackson-Lenstrup_pbk.indd 1 10/10/08 12:40:08 GETTING PUBLISHED Getting_Published prelims.indd 1 9/10/08 15:00:48 Getting_Published prelims.indd 2 9/10/08 15:00:48 Getting Published A Companion for the Humanities and Social Sciences Gerald Jackson and Marie Lenstrup Getting_Published prelims.indd 3 9/10/08 15:00:49 First published in 2009 by NIAS Press NIAS – Nordic Institute of Asian Studies Leifsgade 33, DK-2300 Copenhagen S, Denmark tel (+45) 3532 9501 • fax (+45) 3532 9549 email: [email protected] • website: www.niaspress.dk © Gerald Jackson and Marie Lenstrup 2009 All rights reserved.

A handful of scholars have earned respectable royalties from books they have written for a broader (more general) readership; Jared Diamond and Steven Pinker are examples. Likewise, some academic publishers make a profit, but rarely do they achieve more than the 10% return on in- vestment considered a minimum in other industries. Academic publishing may be a high-status industry, but there is more money and greater profit in selling soppy romance novels and scented tissue paper. That said, success is a different matter, something that is quite reasonable to strive for and which should not be measured in monetary terms alone. In this book we aim to maximize your chances of success as an academic author, but let us be realistic: it is highly unlikely that you will end up with pockets sagging with readers’ gold. There is a much better chance that you will find the whole experience rather daunting: writing is hard work, a publication contract is no certainty, and good reviews followed by really satisfying sales can be elusive. You ask, perhaps, why publish at all if it is such a thankless occupa- tion? That is a fair question for most authors, but not for academics. Publication is far and away the most important avenue for academic, scholarly and scientific communication. The quality and quantity of ix Getting_Published prelims.indd 9 9/10/08 15:00:50 Getting Published publication are the main measure of the relative excellence of both academic institutions and the individuals working there. A range of good publications will help an academic gain recognition among colleagues and students, may well be the decisive factor in promo- tions or new appointments, will increase the chance of grant awards – and should also be, quite simply, a source of personal satisfaction at having brought new and exciting work to the attention of the global academic community. However, we have seen time and again how the authors we work with ask the same questions, raise the same concerns, fall prey to the same misunderstandings, and cause the same practical hiccups for publishers. There is clearly a general gap in the knowledge and under- standing that authors have of the publishing process and how best the process can be exploited for their own purposes – a gap that cries out to be filled with clear, practical, reasoned advice. What this book will do for you It may be a cliché, but it is still true: knowledge is power. In this comprehensive but concise companion we aim to give you Knowledge of how the book industry works, how and why publishers decide to accept or reject a manuscript, what constraints and moti- vations shape academic publishing, and how new developments in printing technology and in electronic publishing and marketing are making waves and causing changes. Knowledge of the differences between successful and unsuccessful manu- scripts, how to take these differences into account at the very earli- est stages of your work, how to determine and satisfy the aim and readership of your work, and how to present your manuscript for the maximum chance of acceptance. Knowledge of how you as an author can affect the success of your book after acceptance, how to work efficiently towards publication with all the various specialists in the publishing house, and how to help ensure that your work reaches the largest possible readership. x Getting_Published prelims.indd 10 9/10/08 15:00:50 Preface We even offer you knowledge of how to self-publish without the backing of a traditional publisher – although we see that as a last resort.

Technical Communication Montana Tech 2019 ii Abstract I have taken a manuscript through the book publishing process to produce a camera-ready print book and e-book. This includes copyediting, designing layout templates, laying out the document in InDesign, and producing an index. My research is focused on the best practices and standards for publishing. Lessons learned from my research and experience include layout best practices, particularly linespacing and alignment guidelines, as well as the limitations and capabilities of InDesign, particularly its endnote functionality. Based on the results of this project, I can recommend self-publishers to understand the software and distribution platforms prior to publishing a book to ensure the required specifications are met to avoid complications later in the process. This document provides details on many of the software, distribution, and design options available for self-publishers to consider. Keywords: self-publishing, publishing, books, ebooks, book design, layout iii Dedication I dedicate this project to both of my grandmothers. I grew up watching you work hard, sacrifice, trust, and love with everything you have; it was beautiful; you are beautiful; and I hope I can model your example with a fraction of your grace and fruitfulness. Thank you for loving me so well.

  • “The Scholarly Monograph's Descendants,” Mary M. Case, Ed., T
    Association of Research Libraries (ARL®) Clifford A. Lynch, “The Scholarly Monograph’s Descendants,” Mary M. Case, ed., The Specialized Scholarly Monograph in Crisis, or How Can I Get Tenure if You Won’t Publish My Book? (Washington, DC: Association of Research Libraries, 1999), pp. 137‐148. The Scholarly Monograph's Descendants Clifford Lynch, Executive Director, Coalition for Networked Information Introduction This paper looks at the possible evolutionary paths that the current printed scholarly monograph may take, paying particular attention to the ways in which technical, economic, and cultural factors may shape this evolution. It does not predict the demise of today's printed scholarly monograph, but suggests that it will coexist with a series of successors that will offer new points of balance among technical and economic constraints and opportunities and that will provide authors with new ways in which to communicate their research. For some works and purposes, the new forms will be superior; in other cases, the traditional printed monograph will likely remain the preferred form. I begin with a brief examination of the current state of the scholarly journal in its transition to electronic formats–or at least to electronic distribution. This transition is arguably more advanced and taking place on a broader scale than is the evolution of the monograph, and thus it may offer insights into what we can expect for the monograph. At the same time, I will argue that much of the experience with the journal may be misleading when extrapolated directly to the future of the monograph. I have chosen words carefully: I believe that what is happening to the journal is best described as a transition or migration, while what we will see with the monograph is the evolution of digitally based successor genres that will coexist with the current print monograph.

  • How to Read a Historical Monograph Like a Historian October 2018 Gks & Jr
    How to Read a Historical Monograph Like a Historian October 2018 gks & jr 1. Start with a BOOK REVIEW Professional historians do all the time. If you want to know a book well-for a discussion or for a research project-the book review is of course no substitute for reading the book. But a good book review will help you to understand the significance of the book you are going to read, its argument, its place in a broader conversation that has been going on. Book reviews have never been so easy to find and access. For a simple search, you might use JSTOR, a vast archive of scholarly journals. It contains the full text of journals running from their first year of publication up to a five years ago. To use JSTOR (http://www.jstor.org, accessible on campus), enter the title you'd like to search for, scroll down and check the box that says history journals, scroll down further and check the box that says reviews, then click on search. Other useful sources: Academic Search Premier, Historical Abstracts, American History and Life, H-Net Reviews. Of course, you have to read book reviews (as all else) with a critical eye. Reviewers, you will see, often disagree about the value of a book, an approach, or an argument. 2. Read the INTRODUCTION very carefully Ask yourself the following questions: * What historical problem is the author addressing? * Are there other interpretations (the work of other historians) that the author finds lacking? Why? * What evidence (what sources) is the author going to examine? * What questions is the author asking about the subject? * What are the answers to these questions? * What is the thesis of the book? All of these questions should be answered in the introduction.

    Reading in Review: The Victorian Book Review in the New Media Moment Elizabeth Carolyn Miller Victorian Periodicals Review, Volume 49, Number 4, Winter 2016, pp. 626-642 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/vpr.2016.0042 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/644186 Access provided by University of California, Davis (4 Jan 2017 21:51 GMT) Reading in Review: The Victorian Book Review in the New Media Moment ELIZABETH CAROLYN MILLER This article revisits the nineteenth-century book review as a genre that naturalized new reading practices for a new media moment. As Lisa Gitel- man has influentially argued, “New media are less points of epistemic rup- ture than they are socially embedded sites for the ongoing negotiation of meaning,” and indeed, while print was not historically “new” in the nine- teenth century, it was nevertheless experiencing a new media moment.1 With the acutely steep rise of published periodicals in this period, not to mention concomitant rises in the number of published newspapers and books, the nearly incalculable volume of new print material made for a qualitative, not just quantitative, shift in the identity of print as a medium.2 The book review, as a genre, demonstrates with particular clarity how the print medium was changing, and it suggests how nineteenth-century read- ing practices were adapting in conjunction with the medium. Aimed at audiences that could never hope to encounter the sublimity of new print material directly, the book review emerged as a meta-genre for nineteenth- century print, one that reflected the changing identity of the book within a broader print culture.
