Program Description
Transforming Scholarly Research into a Publishable Book with Elizabeth Èowyn Nelson
If your completed thesis or dissertation still feels vitally alive and relevant to contemporary culture, this 12-hour seminar will help you begin the process of reworking your research so that it may become “the ideal text” that publishers seek and very rarely find: solid works of scholarship that hold wide appeal for a general audience.
In a lively combination of short lectures and guided breakout groups, participants will:
- Learn how to transform the research question and outcomes of the study into the book’s central promise;
- Think about different ways to organize the content so that it has narrative drive;
- Reflect upon audience and consider the issues of voice, tone, and style;
- Decide what portions of the thesis or dissertation to keep and what to cut;
- Discover strategies for preserving the depth of the original scholarship (and making sure it is up-to-date) while speaking in language that appeals to non-specialists.
The webinar is open to students who graduated from Pacifica as well as other institutions of higher learning. All you need is a desire and the discipline to write (again).
