Midwest Book Review
This third edition covers a variety of subjects for would-be academic authors; from choosing a publisher and submitting journal articles to writing a textbook. This goes beyond the usual how-to-write format of lay guides, assuming a basic prior knowledge of writing and publishing and moving on to examine common professional problems encountered in the process.

Review
'Beth Luey has written the kind of basic text you might think has been around for years. Well it hasn't been, and now it finally is. The text is sensible and fair to all parties involved in academic publishing. Her book is especially noteworthy for disabusing authors of unrealistic expectations, while recalling to scholarly publishers their obligations to their authors no less than to the bottom line.' Irving Louis Horowitz, Rutgers University
'... should be required reading for scholar/authors, or would be authors ... her book is a lucid and valuable primer that renders a needed service to academic authors and publishers alike.' Scholarly Publishing
'This practical, informal and knowledgeable handbook is a fine guide to the highways and byways of academic publishing. It should be of considerable value to perspective authors.' Lewis A. Coster, State University of New York, Stony Brook
