Writing About Music: A Guide to Publishing Opportunities for Authors and Reviewers

by Ann Phillips Basart

If you have written an article about virtually any aspect of music, and confront the question "Where should I attempt to publish this?" then this is the volume which you should consult. Contains (in addition to useful "Advice to Authors", a lengthy if not exhaustive guide to Monographs in Series, and useful indices of several complementary designs) exquisitely detailed information (in standardized format) about more than 430 current periodicals. Evocative as it is of dark and dusty offices, of deeply stacked manuscripts, of authors anxious to see print and of authors anxious to stay afloat, the book manages somehow to be fun to read even though it has no plot, and even if you are not an author with a problem.
