Show Notes

In this episode of Publish My Book, we explore how to transform a dissertation into a compelling book. We begin by examining the key differences between the two: while a dissertation demonstrates our research abilities to advisors, a book communicates core ideas to a broader audience. We discuss how to distill our arguments, streamline dense sections, and rewrite for clarity and engagement. We also consider our target audience—academic or trade—and address the ethical and legal considerations of permissions for borrowed materials.
