A professor, author, and thirty-year veteran of the book industry, Germano knows what editors want and what writers need to do to get their work published. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This fourth, thoroughly updated edition of \u003ci\u003eGetting It Published\u003c\/i\u003e accounts for new challenges facing authors and changed conditions in the publishing industry. From open access to peer review, from approaching a press to considering an agent, publishing can be confusing for authors trying to understand their options. This new edition continues to offer the clear, practicable guidance on choosing the best path to publication that has made the book such a trusted resource. Its latest revisions include an expanded chapter on proposals (and their covering emails) as well as current information on the shifting landscape of ebook publishing. But this book is more than a nuts-and-bolts guide. It takes up a writer's biggest challenges: how to frame a book-length project, shape its argument, conceive its audience, and pitch it convincingly to an editor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGetting It Published\u003c\/i\u003e reflects the latest changes and technologies in the publishing industry but keeps its eye on what remains constant: Whether working on their first book or their fifth, writers can make their work stronger by knowing what publishers do and why they do it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Germano\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eFrom Dissertation to Book\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOn Revision\u003c\/i\u003e, both also published by the University of Chicago Press.
