Abstract

Abstract:Drawing from personal experience revising my dissertation into a book and helping dozens of authors do the same, I put language to a critical yet challenging phase in this process: working on one's book. After describing what working on one's book entails, elucidating how it fundamentally differs in posture from writing a book proposal, and explaining why authors might abandon this work prematurely in favour of more familiar modes of working, I offer actionable prompts and exercises that authors can use to make working on their book more concrete.

反对用写书的建议来重新思考你的书:为什么以及如何写书

摘要:根据我个人的经验，我把自己的论文修改成一本书，并帮助几十位作者也这样做，我把语言放在了这个过程中一个关键但具有挑战性的阶段:写书。在描述了写书所需要的工作，阐明了它与写书提案的根本区别，并解释了为什么作者可能会过早地放弃这项工作，而倾向于更熟悉的工作模式之后，我提供了可操作的提示和练习，作者可以使用这些提示和练习来使写书更加具体。
