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:
1. Evaluation in Today's World (https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/evaluation-in-today%E2%80%99s-world/book263463) by Veronica G. Thomas and Patricia B. Campbell
2. The Practice of Evaluation (https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/the-practice-of-evaluation/book254842) by Ryan P. Kilmer and James R. Cook
3. Completing Your Evaluation Dissertation, Thesis, or Culminating Project (https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/completing-your-evaluation-dissertation-thesis-or-culminating-project/book259160) by Tamara M. Walser and Michael S. Trevisan
4. Program Evaluation (https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/program-evaluation/book253271) by Susan P. Giancola
