Extract

Anew assistant professor of political science, who we shall call “Dr. Politics,” stands at the door of the exhibit hall at the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association gazing at the crowds gathering at the booths of the leading publishers of scholarly work in political science. Dr. Politics' dissertation has been finished, defended, and filed with the graduate school. The dissertation committee members have told Dr. Politics that the dissertation is but one revision away from being a completed book manuscript that will be attractive to many academic presses. Dr. Politics' prestigious department requires at least one published book and one on the way for tenure. The chair expects the first book to be a revised version of the dissertation. How does Dr. Politics navigate the new world of publishing?
