One of the ways librarians maintain the integrity of their profession is through the creation of a robust body of professional literature. In The Librarian's Guide to Writing for Publication , Rachel Singer Gordon speaks to the hidden genius in each of us.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to: queries and proposals; increasing your odds of publication; networking and collaboration; marketing and promotion; and the particular demands of authorship in an electronic environment. An appendix contains interviews with several library publishers and editors, covering the gamut of publication outlets.

This book is dated now, but the overall framework and general advice of the book still rings true. I got some helpful information regarding academic book contracts and some example letters and forms that I think will be useful.
