Getting It Published, Fourth Edition, 4th Edition

“There is, I assume, only one William Germano. A shame, because any aspiring author who reads this book will probably want him as their editor. However, illicit cloning aside, they will have to settle for his considered advice on the page, rather than in person… . Germano is committed to ideas but clear-headed about business, inspiring but not unrealistic, wise in the ways of publishing and witty about writers’ foibles. And–a good sign in an editor–he writes well himself.” * Times Higher Education (UK) *“A clear and enthralling read, channeling Germano’s expertise on scholarly publishing into a timely, approachable and inspiring book that can be used as a quick reference or as part of a more comprehensive education. The book’s masterful synthesis of breadth and words makes it a tremendously valuable resource for new and experienced academic writers alike, as well as the librarians helping them.” * Reference Reviews (UK), praise for a previous edition *
