Not just the advice, but the fact that we are actually talking about this mysterious process.<BR/><BR/>In addition to Germano, I like _Revising Your Dissertation: Advice from Leading Editors_, ed.

After you've talked about potential market, especially if your book might be a supplementary text in an upper level course, talk about other books that address similar issues, the books someone would drop to add your book.<BR/><BR/>It shows that you, too, are thinking like a businesswoman.<BR/><BR/>But if I could just echo one thing: write clearly, for those who have not spent the past X years immersed in your subject. And then do it with the book. Then it will get on reading lists.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716705206734059708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-58920425653887266712008-04-17T16:55:00.000-07:002008-04-17T16:55:00.000-07:00I think this is great advice. And for the job hunt...I think this is great advice. And for the job hunters out there? Read this, and put 'search committee' in place of editors. Give 'em what they want.

But I will now.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for all this advice.<BR/><BR/>And as for #5: Internet dating didn't work for you not because *you* suck but because *it* sucks.
