Book Description
When you set out to become an author, did you ever expect the "getting published" part to be so confusing? Writing a book can seem hard enough; now that you're done, why does talking to publishers make you feel like you don't speak the same English they do? This book will be your handy reference guide to publishing terminology-your dictionary of the language of the publishing industry, written by native speakers who are themselves fluent in it. With succinct explanations of terms and where they all fit in the process of publication, publishers Andy and Cathy Sanders have constructed a glossary for the author-you! Not only will this book help you understand the lingo, it will clarify much of the process you are about to undertake. Written by professional publishers, for authors, this book is your trusty companion on the road to seeing your own book in print.

Book Description
Grambs's earlier "Words About Words" ( LJ 5/15/84) is here retitled and repackaged for a softbound edition. About 2000 terms somehow relating to prose usage, speech, stylistic devices, or literary distinctions are defined, often with quotations illustrating use of the terms in published works. Many of the terms or expressions being defined are, without examples, just abstractions. Supplementary topical material ("Advertising Weasel Words,'' "Parts of a Book,'' "The Language of Comic Double-Talk,'' "Libel,'' "Fair Use'') lends some focus to an otherwise eclectic assortment of words both familiar and obscure. Most likely this will please those with xenoglossophilia (love of foreign or otherwise strange words), seekers after the mot juste , and other word buffs.--William A. Donovan, Chicago P.L. -Library Journal.
