No titles? Oral Histories are collections, so you are an editor, not the author. What about your "follow up work"...original writing or more collections?
Of coures there are no titles offered; we'd be able to find the truth about that...........LOL.
My dissertation originally was rejected because I included too much information based on oral histories--that sort of thing is frowned on in academia (and they control the granting of degrees). It's one reason it took me a lot longer to obtain my PhD (others include my wife's failed pregnancy, my father's long illness, and the fact that I'm lazy).
My contracted books will consist of oral histories, with lots of historical background written by Yours Truly to put it all into perspective. I'm fighting now to have 1940's/current photographs of each person in the book (but good photo reproduction is expensive, and I'm not an established author). History is big, now, so I'm told, and I expect these to be well-received, as long as I don't mess the projects up.
My third, optioned book ("optioned" means they paid me a fee to get a first look at the finished manuscript) will be the story of the industrial build-up of the U.S. from 1940 (when the build-up actually started) to 1945. It's all based on original research I did over the past 15 years.
I haven't got a title, and haven't developed it very much. Since I have a set contract for the first two, and an insistent agent, I'm concentrating on getting them finished first. However, school is getting in the way. Have to make a living and all that.
Praeger is my publisher--they're a wonderful publisher; they treat authors very well and the books they print are beautiful. I really feel these will turn out to be something I can be proud of.
