Getting It Published ─ A Guide for Scholars and Anyone Else Serious about Serious Books

Since its first publication in 2001, William Germano’s Getting It Published’ has established itself as the indispensable guide to book publishing for all academic authors and writers of serious non-fiction. Today there are more ways to publish than ever, more challenges to traditional publishing, and more room for confusion among authors trying to understand their options. This extensively revised third edition brings Germano’s classic up to date, charting a path across today’s publishing landscape while showing why book publication rightly remains the highest aspiration for authors with big ideas and consequential arguments.

William Germano is dean of the faculty of humanities and social sciences and professor of English literature at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Previously, he served as editor in chief at Columbia University Press and vice president and publishing director at Routledge. He is the author of From Dissertation to Book, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
