Little, Brown & Company Uneducated
Book SynopsisBoldly honest, wryly funny, and utterly open-hearted, Uneducated is one diploma-less journalist''s map of our growing educational divide and, ultimately, a challenge: in our credential-obsessed world, what is the true value of a college degree?For Christopher Zara, this is the professional minefield he has had to navigate since the day he was kicked out of his New Jersey high school for behavioural problems and never allowed back. From a school for troubled kids, to wrestling with his identity in the burgeoning punk scene of the 1980s; from a stint as an ice cream scooper as he got clean in Florida, to an unpaid internship in New York in his thirties, Zara spent years contending with skeptical hiring managers and his own impostor syndrome before breaking into the world of journalism-only to be met by an industry preoccupied with pedigree. As he navigated the world of the elite and saw the realities of the education gap firsthand, Zara realized he needed to con

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Invisible Art of Literary Editing
Book SynopsisA field guide to the trade and art of editing, this book pulls back the curtain on the day-to-day responsibilities of a literary magazine editor in their role, and to the specific skills necessary to read, mark-up and transform a piece of writing. Combining a break-down of an editor's tasks including creating a vision, acquisitions, responding to submissions and corresponding with authors with a behind-the-scenes look at manuscripts in progress, the book rounds up with a test editing section that teaches, by way of engaging exercises, the nitty-gritty strategies and techniques for working on all kinds of texts. Generous in its insight and access to practicing editors' annotations and thought processes, The Invisible Art of Literary Editing offers an exclusive look at nonfiction, fiction and poetry manuscripts as they were first submitted, as they were marked up by an editor and how the final piece was presented before featuring an interview with the editor on theTable of ContentsBios Acknowledgments Introduction How this Book is Organized The Focus of this Book 1) Aesthetic: You know it when you see it A Few Words About Mission Exercise: Mission and Aesthetic Vision Exercise: Build a Prototype Journal 2) Acquisition Solicited Subs Unsolicited Work Submission Guidelines Call for Submissions Strategies for Dealing with Submissions Case Study: descant literary magazine Case Study: Rose Metal Press 3) Responding to Submissions Unconditional Acceptance Conditional Acceptance Specific Conditional Acceptance Invitation to Revise and Resubmit Personalized Rejection Warm Form Rejection Form Rejection Best Practices in Rejection Dealing with Blowback 4) Correspondence Initial Contact Sending Edits Confirmation 5) Case Studies Julie Riddle Creative Nonfiction/Personal Essay Valerie Vogrin Creative Nonfiction/Personal Essay Maggie Smith Poetry Mark Doten Fiction Student Example: Grace Dillow Fiction 6) Test Editing Global Editing Editing with a Heavy Hand Editing with the Body Selection and Sequencing Editing with Lenses Scalpel Edit Crafting an Editing Philosophy: A Capstone Assignment Appendix CPR Dummy Stories Dispatch from the Bunker We All Just Pretended To Like it So You Wouldn't Flunk Us Evolution Editing Philosophy Statements: Student Examples Chelsea Yedinak Mackenzie Thompson Lydia Gentry Index

John Murray Press A Memoir of My Former Self
Book SynopsisThe magnificent final book from the bestselling author of the Wolf Hall TrilogyTrade ReviewThe essays in this posthumous collection displays Mantel's extraordinary range and depth as well as the eclecticism of her interests . . . Read together they have a quality of timelessness and prescience * New Statesman, Books of the Year *I miss knowing Hilary Mantel is out there somewhere, exhuming Tudor England. Don't you? At least we can still hear her (strange, slightly magical) voice in this selection from her essays and reviews. Here we meet not just Mantel the Cromwell-catcher, but Mantel the quill-sharp critic of contemporary life, despising expat life in 1980s Saudi Arabia ('When you come across an alien culture you must not automatically respect it. You must sometimes pay it the compliment of hating it') or revelling in the wit of When Harry Met Sally * The Times, Books of the Year *Her long essays on female writers show Mantel at her best . . . Indeed she excels at writing about writing generally . . . And it's on being a writer that Mantel is funniest . . . a guide to the mind of one of the great English novelists of the last half-century * Guardian *Today, she reigns supreme as the queen of the historical novel: the achievement of her Wolf Hall trilogy, twice the recipient of Booker Prizes, is universally acknowledged . . . it's a rich and illuminating coda to both Mantel's life and career . . . Now we're the ones stumbling along behind the spectral figure of Mantel herself, eager for her every last word * Daily Telegraph *We must be grateful that she has left us this collection of pieces, thoughtfully compiled by Pearson . . . Revisiting these pieces, with their fierce wit, their dark humour and compassion, is like hearing the voice of an old friend you had not expected to encounter again . . . A Memoir of My Former Self is a fine testament to that remarkable imagination - a reminder of what a voice we have lost, and how fortunate we are that she left us so much * Observer *How did she manage to write on such a wide range of subjects with such interest, such playfulness and such fidelity to the power of interrogation? . . . Most striking here is Mantel's clear-eyed compassion, her insistence on truthfulness . . . deliciously frank . . . Here are fascinatingly various mediations of that secret self. * Times Literary Supplement *Even her biggest fans will find material new to them . . . The overall effect is to make the reader feel that Mantel is with us still, communicating from beyond the grave. This collection - much more than the sum of its parts - allows us to see how her theories of life and art knit together . . . We get a sense of what shaped her . . . She writes with humour, at times droll, at others razor-sharp. Above all, we get to appreciate the poetry and precision of her prose * New Statesman *Hilary Mantel is worth reading on everything . . . Mordant and witty * Literary Review *The range of subjects is magnificent . . . She can create character in a few lines . . . open at any page for treasures and gold * i Paper *Her death at the age of 70 last September still feels like a tragedy. Open the pages of this book and that feeling hardens into certainty. What a talent we lost. Her sentences leap off the page, her range is exceptional . . . You never waste a moment reading Hilary Mantel . . . There wasn't much she couldn't do * Evening Standard *In this dazzling posthumous collection of previously published and original writings . . . Mantel's idiosyncratic and magisterial voice comes through on every page, carrying readers across an astonishing array of subject matter with ease. This is a treasure * Publishers Weekly *A smart, deft, meticulous, thoughtful writer, with such a grasp of the dark and spidery corners of human nature -- Margaret AtwoodOne of the very greatest of our writers; poetic and profound prose with an incomparable feel for the texture of history -- Simon SchamaMantel was a queen of literature . . . her reign was long, varied and uncontested -- Maggie O’FarrellMantel bristled with intelligence, looked at everything, saw everything . . . With the uneasy energy of her early life, Mantel made rigorous and unsettling work about history, the body and the unknowable -- Anne Enright

Little, Brown Book Group Something Nasty in the Slushpile
Book SynopsisMost publishers keep a slushpile - the stack of unsolicited manuscripts which contains a large percentage of preposterous or frightening book proposals, which might just conceal that one jewel of a bestseller or classic novel lying near the bottom. Authors discovered via the slush pile include Roddy Doyle, J. K. Rowling and Philip Roth. Stephenie Meyer sent 15 query letters about her teenage-vampire saga and got nearly 10 rejection letters; one even arrived after she signed with an agent and received a three-book deal from Little, Brown. Kathryn Stockett''s The Help was turned down 60 times over 3 years before becoming a best seller. Sadly though, these are the exceptions...Written by a reader with over a decade of slush pile experience, Something Nasty in the Slushpile takes a tour through the ''do''s and ''don''t''s of book proposal, including many examples of hilarious, misguided and plain weird approaches. The contents include:Offputing Trade ReviewIf you're thinking about publishing a book this should be required reading before you even go near a publisher. - Bookbag

PublicAffairs,U.S. The Mercenary: A Story of Brotherhood and Terror
Book SynopsisIn the early days of the Afghanistan war, Jeff Stern was scouring the streets of Kabul for a big story. He was accompanied by a driver, Aimal, who had ambitions of his own: to get rich off the sudden infusion of foreign attention and cash.In this gripping adventure story, Stern writes of how he and Aimal navigated an environment full of guns and danger and opportunity, and how they forged a deep bond.Then Stern got a call that changed everything. He discovered that Aimal had become an arms dealer, and was ultimately forced to flee the country to protect his family from his increasingly dangerous business partners.Tragic, powerful, and layered, The Mercenary is more than a wartime drama. It is a Rashomon-like story about how politics and violence warp our humanity, and keep the most important truths hidden.

The Lilliput Press Ltd The Dubliner Diaries
Book SynopsisIn the summer of 2000 a young Irish journalist returned from New York to launch a magazine about life in boomtown Dublin. The Dubliner was an instant failure, and within a few months it was close to bankruptcy. For the next seven years Trevor White struggled to keep the magazine afloat. Along the way he managed to alienate nearly everyone in Ireland. The Dubliner Diaries is an awkward history of the Celtic Tiger by a man who tried to capture it, and ended up being mauled.Trade Review[The Dubliner Diaries is] a smart and engaging read’. – Frank Coughlan, The Irish Independent. ‘Thoughtful, often hilarious and endearingly self-deprecating. Trevor White might well be the pompous so-and-so he admits to being. But he’s also the most likeable pompous so- and-so in Ireland today … One of the funniest and most astute pieces of writing yet on the national midlife crisis we briefly called the Celtic Tiger.’ – Paul Howard, aka Ross O’Carroll-Kelly

Book SynopsisAnne Scott has never housed her books in order of theme or author yet she knows where each of them is and the kind of life it has led. Some have been gifts but most have been chosen in bookshops unique in their style and possibilities. They have been observers of discovery, decisions, and marvels with her, following the line of her time and place. Some are everyday shops with a shelf of books in a corner, some are beginning again after long lives as churches, printing presses, medieval houses, a petrol-station. There are a few the author is too late to see: early print-houses and booksellers here too in this book, searched for and described, side by side with all the bookshops open now and busy with readers. Not one is like another. In one way, the book is a sequence about writing. But first it is a map of books and a life.Table of ContentsFIRST ... 1. COMPENDIUM BOOKSHOP, CAMDEN: The Spread Sail 2.

Book SynopsisKurt Wolff (1887-1963) was a singular presence in the literary world of the twentieth century, a cultural force shaping modern literature itself and pioneering significant changes in publishing. This title deals with his works.Trade Review"Pure oxygen and nutrition for exhausted and demoralized editors and publishers. One of the prophetic publishers of the century---Kurt Wolff instances in these modest reminiscences and correspondence with authors (Kafka, Werfel, Kraus, Rilke, Mann, Pasternak, Grass, et al.) the vision and devotion that bound them to him and that made him-the secret of his calling-'synonymous with his work.'"

The University of Chicago Press Behind the Book
Book SynopsisBehind the Book explores how eleven contemporary first-time authors, in genres ranging from post-apocalyptic fiction to young adult fantasy to travel memoir, navigated these pathways with their debut works.Trade Review"What a book-lover's fantasy! To see behind the making and launching of eleven diverse books, to hear stories of first and last drafts, of book tours and artist residencies, of publicity letdowns and bolts out of the blue--in short, tales of struggle, success, hard work, and luck, all told with Jones's keen eye toward craft--what a generous gift to the aspiring writer! The joy of this book is not to push a single path to publication, but to celebrate the endless variety such paths might take. Showing how we get our stories, real or imagined, into the world is this book's unique gift--and that's a proposition that feels particularly urgent in these tumultuous times."--Edward McPherson, author of The History of the Future: American Essays "An indispensable tool for writers eager to peek behind the curtain and learn about the realities of writing and publishing. Myths and mysteries about being an 'author' abound, and this book shines a bright light on it all. Full of valuable nuggets, Behind the Book draws on real-life stories as well as the wisdom of the very best writing guides to reveal an empowering truth: There's no one path to publishing success."--Katrin Schumann, cofounder of GrubStreet's Launch Lab and author of The Secret Power of Middle Children

The University of Chicago Press The Scientific Journal
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Amid fresh convulsions in scholarly publishing, much here resonates — not least, how commercial interests have shaped science communication almost from the start.” * Nature *"[F]ascinating and carefully researched . . . . This timely book challenges our notion of the traditional scientific journal by showing that it was the result of a long and complex historical process and much controversy." * Times Higher Education *"A timely reminder that the literary marketplace and political ideologies, together with science practitioners' own interests, shape the vehicles and multiple roles of science communication. . . . It is indispensable for graduates in the history of science and, especially, in library and information science. . . . Essential." * CHOICE *"This book is really the first one that focuses on the development and emergence of the scholarly journal as we know it today. . . . The author’s interpretations of the past in the introduction and conclusion are keen and help the reader better understand the twenty-first-century status quo of scholarly publishing. . . . In addition to those studying the history of science, this book will be of interest to scholars of library and information science, epistemology, the history of bibliography, and the history of the UK and France." * Metascience *"The book is full of detailed sketches of the fascinating personalities involved in the development of an institution -- journal publishing -- that we often think of as having always existed. Csiszar gives a compelling account of how the publication of scientific results in the fragmented form of journal articles won out as a format over comprehensive books. . . . This book will be a very welcome resource for students of the history of academic publishing, as well as anyone with an interest in the history of science as it tracks with the origins of the institution of the scientific journal." * Publishing Research Quarterly *"Through a rigorous examination of the role of scientific institutions in framing knowledge, Csiszar has provided a compelling account of why the scientific journal took the shape that it did. His book is ambitious, in command of its material, and full of detail. More importantly, by showing how science came to be entangled with a particular medium of communication, it constitutes a timely reminder that the history of ideas cannot be separated from the forms in which those ideas were embodied." * Victorian Studies *"Alex Csiszar’s brilliant new book on the scientific journal is a welcome addition to a growing body of scholarship on science and nineteenth-century print culture. It deserves to be placed alongside the other important monographs appearing in the last two decades that examine the intersection of the history of publishing with the history of science. . . . An immensely satisfying read. . . . By concentrating on how the elite scientific societies responded to the proliferation of commercial science journals [Csiszar] is able to provide a new big picture upon which historians of science can build effectively in the future." * Journal of Modern History *“A scientific journal can make for dry reading; The Scientific Journal, on the other hand, does not. Csiszar provides a fascinating account about how this particular genre came to have its current form and, most importantly, its overwhelming status. There are thought-provoking challenges to our assumptions about scientific communication on just about every page.” -- Michael D. Gordin, Princeton University"This clever and absorbing history charts the coming into being and imminent passing away of one of the most important forms of scientific activity - journal publication. Stocked with fascinating tales of scientific authors' deeds and sufferings, and of publishers' market savvy and ingenious trickery, Csiszar shows that the allegedly novel and dramatic alliance between scientific writing and commercial interest is nothing new, and in fact dominated the original developments of scientific literature and its vagaries in earlier centuries. The book explains how the notion of a quick and cheap technological fix for any apparent trouble of public knowledge first gained ground and why its mythology so evidently survives. The book will be indispensable for anyone interested in the roots of trust in scientific facts and their authors, and the central role played by print media in the crisis of intellectual authority." -- Simon Schaffer, University of Cambridge"Certain books are as valuable for what they reveal about our professional inheritance as for what they tell us about the history of science. This is one of those books. It is impossible to read The Scientific Journal without reflecting upon the mechanisms of academic publishing today." * The British Journal for the History of Science *"With this work, undoubtedly destined to become a standard reference, Alex Csiszar marks an important milestone in a debate that will go on." * Revue d’histoire des sciences (Translated from French) *Table of ContentsList of Figures Introduction: “Broken Pieces of Fact” 1 The Press and Academic Judgment 2 Meeting in Public 3 The Author and the Referee 4 Discovery, Publication, and Property 5 What Is a Scientific Paper? 6 Access Fantasies at the Fin de Siècle Conclusion: Impact Stories Acknowledgments Archives and Abbreviations Notes Index

This title seeks to remedy the common misperception that such classics as The Wealth of Nations and The Life of Samuel Johnson were made by their authors alone.Trade Review"A major achievement." - Times Literary Supplement "This is an exceptional piece of work. It is both an astonishing accumulation of informative detail and a multiplicity of lively interconnected narratives of authors, books, booksellers, printers and other subjects. It is a very useful reference book, with its nearly 150 pages of tables and bibliographies; it is also an engaging and stimulating read." - Antonia Forster, Review of English Studies "Discerningly illustrated, at once scholarly and accessible, this is an essential addition not only to eighteenth-century studies but also to the history of the book." - Atlantic"

Publishers Weekly Forget the premature obituaries for books and reading. Striphas insists that books remain a vital presence in the twenty-first century. Booklist The Late Age of Print is an important history of the book and their impact on (mostly) American culture. Sacramento Book Review It is rare to say of a university press hardcover that it is a "must-read," but for those interested in the confluence of culture and economics as it relates to books, that is what The Late Age of Print is. -- Richard Nash Critical Flame This book is a gold mine of information and thought about book culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. -- Gwen M.

University of Illinois Press The Rise and Fall of Early American Magazine
Book SynopsisRadically revising literary history by revisiting periodicalsTrade ReviewA Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2013 EBSCO host-Research Society for American Periodicals (RSAP) Book Prize, 2013 Notable Title, Annual Book Award, Society for US Intellectual History, 2013. "Essential… The Rise and Fall of Early American Magazine Culture deserves to be dubbed In dispensable. As the most sustained and persuasive analysis of the early American magazine's cultural significance that we possess,and as the most detailed account of its repeated failure to prosper, Gardner's book is notable for its ability to draw broad conclusions and strong claims from the material it treats."--Amerikastudien / American Studies "The book offers much food for thought in depicting an 18th-century version of an inclusive public sphere, where semi-anonymous voices engaged in an ongoing virtual conversation without seeking recognition or profits."--Journal of Magazine & New Media Research "An eloquent picture of magazine journalism's place in literary history as the seminal contributor to the beginnings of the great American novel."--American Journalism"Jared Gardner provides an innovative account of the place of the magazine in U.S. literary history that allows for a reimagining of a large part of the conventional wisdom of the field. His well-written, original book situates magazine culture between and against the newspaper press on one hand and the novel on the other, and he usefully explains both the curious career trajectories of a number of familiar writers and the reasons why intelligent men and women continued to produce magazines without rational expectation of commercial success or viability."--John C. Nerone, coauthor of The Form of News: A History"Gardner demonstrates that early American periodicals constitute a coherent genre and play a more central role in the formation of an early American literary imagination than is generally recognized. . . . Essential."--Choice"Stimulating and highly readable. . . . fizzes with ideas, offered as answers to a question glossed over by established literary histories."--H-Net Reviews"Smoothly written and well researched. . . . an important contribution to the University of Illinois Press's valuable History of Communication series."--The Journal of American History"This erudite, incisive, and important book traces the history of magazine culture in America from its eighteenth-century origins through the early nineteenth-century. . . . A nuanced and illuminating account of a tradition we have ignored, to our detriment, for far too long."--American Periodicals "The Rise and Fall of Early American Magazine Culture is an ambitious reimagining of magazine culture in the early national period, which largely has been viewed not only as a failure but also as less important and less rich than the so-called golden age of nineteenth-century periodicals. Under Gardner's careful attention, however, the early national period emerges as a time of extraordinary periodical experimentation and worthy, in its own right, of a study such as this."--Patricia Okker, author of Social Stories: The Magazine Novel in Nineteenth-Century America

University of Illinois Press Digital Critical Editions
Book Synopsis Provocative yet sober, Digital Critical Editions examines how transitioning from print to a digital milieu deeply affects how scholars deal with the work of editing critical texts. On one hand, forces like changing technology and evolving reader expectations lead to the development of specific editorial products, while on the other hand, they threaten traditional forms of knowledge and methods of textual scholarship. Using the experiences of philologists, text critics, text encoders, scientific editors, and media analysts, Digital Critical Editions ranges from philology in ancient Alexandria to the vision of user-supported online critical editing, from peer-directed texts distributed to a few to community-edited products shaped by the many. The authors discuss the production and accessibility of documents, the emergence of tools used in scholarly work, new editing regimes, and how the readers'' expectations evolve as they navigate digital texts.

University of Illinois Press English in Print from Caxton to Shakespeare to
Book SynopsisA landmark collection of early English books, with many gorgeous illustrationsTrade Review"English in Print from Caxton to Shakespeare to Milton is a twice-welcome addition to the book lover's shelves. It provides a succinct and clear introduction to the history of printing in English, including such neglected topics as the interaction between printing and language and the religio-political implications of this seminal technological development. And it introduces to a wider audience the riches of two distinguished collections of early English printed materials."--Milton Gatch, author of The Library of Leander van Ess and the Earliest American Collections of Reformation Pamphlets"We should be grateful to Valerie Hotchkiss and Fred C. Robinson for providing a widely accessible but academically rigorous review of probably the most important period of printing in England. Although there is a grand sweep of two hundred years of history, the individual stories are not ignored, and the authors and printers are brought to light with well-chosen biographical details and vignettes. Many of the books in this catalogue are visually simply delicious, and together they provide a feast to anyone who enjoys books and their history."--Stella Butler, Deputy University Librarian and Associate Director of the John Rylands Library, The University of Manchester"Stimulating from start to finish, enjoyable for the diversity of materials and the strong unity of the presentation, this volume reminds one of precisely why we are attracted to these rare books in the first place: they enliven and invigorate, as much as they record and represent, the distant past immediately before our eyes. As a historian of the book and a curator of rare books and manuscripts, I would not consider my own reference library complete without a copy of English in Print from Caxton to Shakespeare to Milton."--Earle Havens, author of Commonplace Books: A History of Manuscripts and Printed Books from Antiquity to the Twentieth Century

University of Illinois Press From Papyrus to Hypertext
Book SynopsisIn this study, Christian Vandendorpe examines how digital media and the Internet have changed the process of reading and writing, significantly altering our approaches toward research and reading, our assumptions about audience and response, and our theories of memory, legibility, and context. Reflecting on the full history of the written word, Vandendorpe provides a clear overview of how materiality makes a difference in the creation and interpretation of texts. Surveying the conventions of reading and writing that have appeared and disappeared in the Internet''s wake, Vandendorpe considers various forms of organization, textual design, the use (and distrust) of illustrations, and styles of reference and annotation. He also examines the novel components of digital texts, including hyperlinks and emoticons, and looks at emergent, collaborative genres such as blogs and wikis, which blur the distinction between author and reader. Looking to the future, reading and writing will continTrade ReviewA Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2011. "In forty pithy essays, the author considers technological innovations that have transformed writing, altering the activity of reading and the processing of texts, individually and collectively. . . .
