Outlines the book publishing process for political scientists. Discussion opens with a comparison between a successful dissertation vs successful book & the revisions required to make the transition from the former to the latter. How to identify appropriate publishers & then solicit them is addressed, along with some of the things an editor might be looking & their production limitations. The problem of multiple submissions is then considered, as well as variations in publishers' review processes, particularly in terms of time frame. Following manuscript acceptance, issues related to contract negotiation & marketing are looked at. In closing, some remarks are offered about publishing conditions in political science in terms of the three types of books produced for intradisciplinary/scientific, classroom, or interdisciplinary or lay audiences, & the sometimes unrecognized lack of overlap between them. 1 Reference.
