Description
Helping you turn your dissertation into a publishable book is at the heart of this practical guide. Since its first edition in 2005, From Dissertation to Book has been a trusted resource for young academic authors looking to share their research with a wider audience. William Germano offers clear guidance on how to revise and edit your work to make it more engaging and accessible to readers beyond the academic community. He draws on his experience in both academia and publishing to provide helpful advice on topics such as rethinking your table of contents, managing footnotes, and shaping chapter length. This revised edition includes a new chapter exploring the future of academic writing and how young scholars can create work that meets the broader expectations of readers. Germano also acknowledges that not all dissertations are suited for publication and offers alternative options, such as turning them into journal articles or edited works.
