Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Designed to address many of the aspects of writing for publication in the library profession, this book focuses on topics as varied as getting started, submitting work, contacting editors, increasing the odds of being published, the writing process, editing, networking, marketing, electronic environment, and the business of writing (contracts, taxes, etc.). Chapters are extremely well organized and structured and noteworthy for their clarity and readability. The practical content is enhanced by quotes from 99 published librarians who responded to the author's online survey. Also of merit is the series of insightful interviews with publishers and editors that appears in one of the book's appendixes. Overall, this is an excellent resource that is essential reading for all librarians wanting to contribute to their professional literature. Highly recommended. Sean Kinder
