Books for demystifying the publication process
This post is a start to demystifying the journal article writing and publication process. I have quite a few books about academic writing, but since they are all boxed up right now, I'll just mention my favorite: Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks, by Wendy Belcher. Now, the title should really be something like "revising your existing class or conference paper for journal submission," but that's not quite as catchy. Structured as a workbook, with clear and helpful exercises, this book has been very helpful for illuminating some of the taken-for-granted expectations that you may not have learned in your PhD program. For me, it has been most useful when I've gotten stuck, and to give a clear structure, with beginning and end dates, to what can seem like an endless process of revision.
