Lexington Books, a very reputable academic publisher in the US, is going to publish Diane's PhD. Isn't that really great news? It took her 10 years to do and for a while there it wasn't quite clear whether she'd ever finish the damn thing. In fact, many of the horror stories I tell prospective PhD students are derived from Diane's experiences. Now of course, it is suddenly all worth it.
This is how Lexington Books introduces itself on its web page:
At Lexington Books we take great pride in our unwavering commitment to publishing specialized research essential to advancing scholarship at a time when many academic publishers have abandoned this part of their programs. We continue to publish high-quality monographs and edited collections by established and emerging scholars, works that may not have a wide audience but make a significant contribution to scholarship in the humanities and social sciences.
How Diane that sounds! And remember, only one percent of PhDs are ever published as books.
