This workbook, based on the successful online Dissertation-to-Book Boot Camp, offers a series of manageable, concrete steps with exercises to help you revise your academic manuscript into publishable book form. The authors--a scholar and an academic developmental editor--show you how to distill and sharpen your core argument, discover an organizational schema that works, develop a compelling narrative arc, and identify what each chapter adds to the story. They also provide a method for drafting and revising new material. While the exercises are specifically designed for scholars in the humanities and qualitative social sciences revising their dissertations, they are useful to anyone with an academic manuscript in progress. The prompts, examples, checklists, and activities will give you confidence about all aspects of your project--that it is structurally sound, coherent, free of the hallmarks of "dissertationese," and ready for submission to an academic publisher"
