Editorial Reviews

Why is it that some people write and get published while others just as knowledgeable, thoughtful and articulate do not? ^RWriting and Publishing for Academic Authors^I not only makes the answer clear but explains exactly how to enlist in the writer category if that is why you really want.

Peter C. Grenquist

A useful collection of essays on how and when to write for what audiences, and for what publishers, with many practical suggestions that young scholars and aspiring writers can easily implement.

Rita J. Simon

In an era of publish or perish every academic has to devise a strategy to avoid that less pleasant alternative. I know of no more effective aid towards achieving this desideratum than the guidepost that Professor Moxley and Taylor have put at our disposal.
