Emphasizing the strategies that academic writers can use in their publishing endeavors, this collection of papers discusses getting motivated, getting manuscripts accepted for publication, preparing manuscripts, the editorial process, and other "tricks of the trade." Titles of papers in the collection are: "Getting Motivated to Publish" (Donna H. Redmann); "Identifying and Selecting Publishing Opportunities" (Joe W. Kotrlik); "Manuscript Preparation" (Michael F. Burnett); and "The Editor's Viewpoint of the Editorial Process" (Betty C. Harrison). A chart, "Publishing in Educational Journals" (Joe W.
