“This book is much like the author herself—wise, generous, full of both encouragement and kindness. With its good counsel—both pragmatic and philosophical—How to Write a Bestseller ought to be—you know: A bestseller.”—Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She’s Not There “Anyone who worries about the role and fate of the humanities in higher education and American life should read Tilar Mazzeo’s How to Write a Bestseller. It’s a clear and comprehensive guide for humanities scholars and a passionate and eloquent argument for why that engagement matters to the future of our democracy. Bravo!”—William D. Adams, 10th Chair, National Endowment for the Humanities “It’s all here—clear directions, invaluable examples, and no-nonsense advice.

I wish I’d had it when I began the crossover myself three decades ago.”—Leo Damrosch, author of The Club
