19: Book Publishing with Helen Salmon

I chat with Helen Salmon from SAGE Publishing about book publishing! We go over how to generate ideas for books, what the book publishing process looks like, and about some of the most recent evaluation books from SAGE! Sage has been a friendly publisher for evaluation books for decades. As Patton stated in the third edition of Qualitative Research and Evaluation Methods (2002): "[Sara Miller McCune's] vision and follow-through have made Sage publications the leading publisher of both evaluation and qualitative inquiry books." (p. xxiv). Some recent evaluation books mentioned: Evaluation in Today's World by Veronica G. Thomas and Patricia B. Campbell The Practice of Evaluation by Ryan P. Kilmer and James R. Cook Completing Your Evaluation Dissertation, Thesis, or Culminating Project by Tamara M. Walser and Michael S. Trevisan Program Evaluation by Susan P.
