Transitioning your PhD thesis into a monograph can be challenging but rewarding. This guide addresses four essential questions: Do I want to write my thesis as a monograph? How do I secure a contract with a publisher? What steps should I take to write the book effectively? What comes after publication? Key considerations include understanding the business of publishing, identifying suitable publishers, crafting a compelling proposal, setting realistic deadlines, and maintaining communication with your publisher post-publication to promote your work.

Four Questions • Do I want to write up my thesis as a monograph? • How do I get a contract with a publisher? • How do I write the book? • What do I do next?
Do I want to write a monograph? • It’s hard to get a contract • It’s a lot of work • There are other avenues for publication
Getting the Contract • Remember that publishing is a business • Identify suitable publishers • Meet/contact publishers • Write a proposal
Writing the Book • Don’t write before you have a contract! • Don’t just reproduce your PhD • Set realistic deadlines (and keep them) • Keep in contact with your publishers
After the book • Promote your book • Develop a relationship with your publishers
