Writing an academic book takes a tremendously long time (especially if you are mildly dyslexic). More than ten years, in this case. There are still some edits to do, and then of course it will go to the sub editors, who are almost like cleaners who remove every speck of dust from your writing. I've just had two articles back that have sent me hunting through back issues of the NME and pleading in a Facebook group respectively (most of my books are still locked up at the University of the East).
I am very happy to say that this book now has a title! It is long-winded, but then its an academic book, and this time around I want to own my idea right from the start.
It will be She's At The Controls: sound engineering, production and gender ventriloquism in the 21st century.
Well, that's got me humming the Grace Jones version of 'She's Lost Control'. Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteI bet you get an article in the Guardian.
