Reviews
Public Influence gets at the heart of what it takes to be an engaged scholar in today's social media world. - Amanda Murdie, Dean Rusk Scholar of International Relations and Professor of International Affairs, School of Public and International Affairs, University of Georgia and Editor-in-Chief of International Studies Review There has been a renaissance of public engagement by scholars across the academy but until now there have been few hands-on guides for how to write for a public audience. Sucharov breaks down the process and gives sage advice along the way--about how to write, how to promote, and how to deal with the pitfalls of social media. Academics looking to increase their influence would do well to read this book. - John Sides, Professor of Political Science, George Washington University and Editor-in-Chief of The Monkey Cage at The Washington Post
