A Scholar’s Guide to Getting Published in English: Critical Choices and Practical Strategies (my reading notes)

A good friend of mine (Dr. Myriam Houssay-Holzschuch, Université Grenoble Alpes) recommended two books and my website for anyone starting graduate school (Dr. Houssay-Holzschuch is a human geographer). Since I’m half human geographer half political scientist, I immediately decided to follow her advice and buy the two books she recommended. One of them was “A Scholar’s Guide to Getting Published in English: Critical Choices and Practical Strategies” by Mary Jane Curry and Theresa Lillis. Actually, Dr. Houssay-Holzschuch recommended this book in another set of tweets that I can’t find right now. At any rate, these two tweets summarize my very positive evaluation of this book.

I have to say that one of the key reasons why this book is so appealing, in addition to the ones I mention above, is that it is published by a small, independent publisher. This alone made me excited about promoting the book.

DISCLOSURE: I bought this book with my own hard earned money. I get no royalties, kickbacks or benefits from writing about it. I do think it’s an excellent book.
