The Dissertation-to-Book Workbook uses targeted exercises and prompts to help you revise your academic manuscript into publishable book form. You'll clarify your book's core priorities, pinpoint your organizing principle, polish your narrative arc, evaluate your evidence, and much more. Using what this workbook calls "book questions and chapter answers," you'll figure out how to thread your book's main ideas through its chapters. Then you'll assemble an argument, and finally, you'll draft any remaining material and revise the manuscript. By the time you complete the workbook, you'll have confidence that your book works as a book-that it's a cohesive, focused manuscript that tells the story you want to tell. Indispensable to anyone with an academic manuscript in progress, the prompts, examples, checklists, and activities will help you rid your manuscript of the hallmarks of "dissertationese" and ensure it's ready for submission to an academic publisher.
