Publisher's Synopsis
You finished your dissertation. You successfully defended and are now a PhD. You probably know more about your dissertation topic and care less than anyone else on the planet. And yet they now expect you to turn it into a book?
In this short work an eminent historian guides you through the process, from deciding whether your dissertation really should be a book at all, to revising, working with a press, and finally opening that box with your newly printed books inside.
Written in a lively and accessible manner, this will help guide the beginning scholar to shape a manuscript into a successful academic book.
