Reviews"This distinguished collection is the best book I know on how to publish scholarship in rhetoric and composition--and why one should. It will also have great value for those outside rhetoric and composition, since much of the advice and information is easily transferable. Publishing in Rhetoric and Composition, however, is far more than a "How To" book. It also marks a distinct stage in the professionalization of a discipline that is certain to become increasingly more important in the coming years. Moreover, this collection of essays by leading specialists in the field provides a remarkably comprehensive survey of what is going on in this field at the moment." -- J. Hillis Miller, from the Foreword
