Hi, does anyone have any experience with Peter Lang Publishing (or heard about them from colleagues)?

Used to be ok-ish, now seems to be largely publishing unrevised PhD theses without much if any quality control. If it's a question of getting a book from a thesis,and you want an academic career, it's worth putting the work in to place it somewhere better. Peter Lang seems to be regarded in the US as a vanity press, in Europe it's not seen that badly, but still in my social science field at least, it would be near the bottom of the list of presses to try. But still better than VDM/ LAP and its multiple offspring based in Saarbrucken, so everything is relative.

Thanks, that fits with what I had heard. Certainly wanting to publish my thesis as a monograph, can't think of a more pointless thing to do! Read one or two and it's a total disaster.

You might be better off publishing your thesis as journal articles to get your name out there, as opposed to trying to rewrite it as a book, which is very different to what a thesis is.

It depends on the topic I would think - I'm certainly planning a monograph as the word count for journal articles is very limiting. It just won't be a reproduction of my thesis. I missed out a "not" in my previous post!
