1 ssss1As you begin to write your dissertation, keep in mind that you will eventually want to publish it as a book. The following works are very helpful in this task: William Germano, From Dissertation to Book (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2005); idem, Getting It Published: A Guide for Scholars and Anyone Else Serious about Serious Books (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2001); Beth Luey, ed., Revising Your Dissertation: Advice from Leading Editors (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 2004); and Susan Rabiner and Alfred Fortunato, Thinking Like Your Editor: How to Write Great Serious Nonfiction–and Get It Published (New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 2002). While revising our dissertations for publication, however, we found it extremely useful to submit some portions (usually not a whole chapter) to journals for publication. We found the feedback from the anonymous reviewers to be extremely helpful. Thus, we have focused most of our comments on writing article‐length essays. In our comments here, we are indebted to Victoria Reyes, “How to write an effective journal article and get it published (essay),” Inside Higher Ed, https://www.insidehighered.com/advice/2017/05/09/how-write-effective-journal-article-and-get-it-published-essay; “How to get published in an academic journal: top tips from editors,” The Guardian, Jan. 3, 2015, https://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/jan/03/how-to-get-published-in-an-academic-journal-top-tips-from-editors; and Faye Halpern, Thomas A.
