If you can't 'get me' within the first 25 pages, I am done reading your book, period.

I've seen a few highly technical books organized by people with just BAs in their subject, who take on MA or PhD-level co-authors. This has the dual advantage of giving your book more credibility, and giving you someone to bounce all of your ideas off of before you go putting them in print for reviewers to critique.<br />That said, I've seen this done mostly with scientific and medical texts. I'm not sure it would be necessary for literary theory or history or whichever your BA is in.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17202494819302527977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-91170797517258295252009-11-20T08:42:31.798-05:002009-11-20T08:42:31.798-05:00My senior thesis in film school was about Zombie m...My senior thesis in film school was about Zombie movies. At the time it didn't seem particularly relevant, just something geeky that really fascinated me. With the recent surge in Zombie themed literature I'm curious as to what traction I could get if I sought publication academically.Thomashttp://www.badassbard.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-60790019892073680442009-11-20T02:43:10.354-05:002009-11-20T02:43:10.354-05:00OMG, forget my MBA...I want a PhD in the apocalyps...OMG, forget my MBA...I want a PhD in the apocalypse!!!Too Cute to be Very Interestinghttp://www.popwaffle.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
