VDM Publishing
VDM Publishing is contacting many of our alumni about publishing their thesis.
Quoted text from a VDM email:
"Dear ___________,
I am writing on behalf of the international academic publisher, VDM Publishing House Ltd.
In the course of a research at the Library of Rhode Island School of Design, we came across a reference to your thesis on "Title of your RISD Thesis".
As we would like to make your work available to a larger audience, I am wondering if you may be interested in publishing your thesis in the form of a printed book.
Your reply including an e-mail address to which I can send an e-mail with further information in an attachment will be greatly appreciated.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
