From Dissertation to Book
Author: William GermanoPublisher: University of Chicago Press

Category : Language Arts & Disciplines

Pages : 178
Book Description
How to transform a thesis into a publishable work that can engage audiences beyond the academic committee. When a dissertation crosses my desk, I usually want to grab it by its metaphorical lapels and give it a good shake. “You know something!” I would say if it could hear me. “Now tell it to us in language we can understand!” Since its publication in 2005, From Dissertation to Book has helped thousands of young academic authors get their books beyond the thesis committee and into the hands of interested publishers and general readers. Now revised and updated to reflect the evolution of scholarly publishing, this edition includes a new chapter arguing that the future of academic writing is in the hands of young scholars who must create work that meets the broader expectations of readers rather than the narrow requirements of academic committees. At the heart of From Dissertation to Book is the idea that revising the dissertation is fundamentally a process of shifting its focus from the concerns of a narrow audience—a committee or advisors—to those of a broader scholarly audience that wants writing to be both informative and engaging. William Germano offers clear guidance on how to do this, with advice on such topics as rethinking the table of contents, taming runaway footnotes, shaping chapter length, and confronting the limitations of jargon, alongside helpful timetables for light or heavy revision. Germano draws on his years of experience in both academia and publishing to show writers how to turn a dissertation into a book that an audience will actually enjoy, whether reading on a page or a screen. He also acknowledges that not all dissertations can or even should become books and explores other, often overlooked, options, such as turning them into journal articles or chapters in an edited work. With clear directions, engaging examples, and an eye for the idiosyncrasies of academic writing, he reveals to recent PhDs the secrets of careful and thoughtful revision—a skill that will be truly invaluable as they add “author” to their curriculum vitae.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I have married twice, and my sister three times. None of us set out for this. We meant to stick our landing on the first try, but we stumbled. My parents divorced when I was five, and my mother married Darrell when I was twentyseven. #2 The Three Fathers died in the order in which my mother had married them, and they died in the inverse order of their health. My father went first, even though he had made a religion of the elliptical trainer, the treadmill, and the NordicTrack. He spent four slow years dying of a neurological disease called progressive supranuclear palsy. #3 My father had grown up the third of seven children. He was born in 1931, the first of the Patchetts to have been born in America. His parents left England to find work in California, and after a long stretch of nothing, his father landed a job as a machinist at Columbia Pictures. #4 My father, as a writer, believed that childhood development rested on the ability to play volleyball. He wanted me to be athletic, join clubs, and start clubs. But I believed I would be a writer, and he didn’t understand that.
