Converting dissertations into book format

If you are considering adapting your thesis for publication, you may need help with converting the manuscript into a style and format that will appeal to a wider readership.

What I can do for you

If you need help with converting your thesis into a book, I can:

• Advise you on the publication process
• Help you to write a proposal, in line with your chosen publisher
• Advise you on the structure of the proposed book
• Help you to reduce the length of the whole text or individual chapters
• Ensure that the text is consistent throughout

I can also ensure that the revised text:

• Is free of errors
• Is pitched at the correct level for the intended reader
• Is written in the style of a native English speaker
• Follows the publisher’s style guide in terms of layout, format, and general style
• Follows the publisher’s referencing style
• Contains correctly formatted references

My experience in this area

I converted my own doctoral thesis into a book, which was then published by a specialist academic press.

I recently completed three relevant courses:

• References, SfEP (now CIEP), UK
• Proofreading Theses and Dissertations, SfEP (now CIEP), UK
• Rewriting and Substantive Editing (Non-Fiction), Publishing Training Centre, UK 

I have assisted several clients in converting their dissertations into publishable formats, as well as advising them on the publishing process.
