"Canter and Fairbairn offer helpful advice on getting started in academic writing, together with offering some useful tips and pointers for those more established. As such this is a handy text to have on the shelf as a reminder, and as a support for students and new colleagues entering the world of academic publication." Studies in Higher Education Would you like to write for publication, but can't find the time or motivation to do so? Do you already publish academically or professionally, and want to extend your portfolio of publications? Would you like help in guiding your students as they set out on a career as published authors? Becoming an Author provides an accessible and engaging toolkit for authors, students, academics and other professionals who want to build their careers, their confidence and their personal satisfaction through publication. It demystifies the move from being an effective student or active professional, to being a published author. The authors draw aside the veils of confusion that surround the practicalities of publishing in academic journals or entering the book market place. This book takes the reader through the publishing process from planning and writing, through to contractual and ethical matters, discussing key issues such as: The importance of structure and style Where and how to publish your work Dealing with publishers The future of academic publishing the authors' experience of publishing, editing and reviewing in a range of academic areas has allowed them to fill the book with real-life experiences about encountering and overcoming problems associated with becoming an author. It has also allowed them to address the psychological and emotional barriers that confront authors, and to offer practical help in getting past them.

"This is a beautifully written book that takes the reader to the heart of ethnography as experience. Readers can walk in the shoes of ethnographers who have travelled before them, and learn as they learned. Sara Delamont is an undisputed expert in both ethnography and education, and here illustrates she is also a tour de force in writing style. All the important ingredients for a recipe to make a good quality ethnography are here, and they are served up with relish!" - Karen O’Reilly, Loughborough University "This is a powerful, richly nuanced, evocative work; a stunning and brilliantly innovative intervention. It provides ground zero - the starting place for the next generation of social scholars of education. A major accomplishment." - Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The ethnography of education has been conducted by sociologists and anthropologists, largely in self-contained and self-referential ways. This book celebrates the continuities and the strengths of ethnographic research on education in formal and non-formal settings, deliberately transgressing the sociology/anthropology divide. Education is broadly defined to cover many settings other than schools, in many countries, for many age-groups. The book is structured thematically, including chapters on movement and mobilities, memorials and memories, time and timescapes, bodies, and performativities, multi-sensory research, and narratives. Strategies for designing innovative ethnographic projects, and for fighting familiarity are provided.
