Do you just need to make a few tweaks here and there? Or will you have to rewrite every single word? What on earth is a monograph, anyway?

There's a lot to understand before you embark upon your writing adventure. This practical book guides you through everything you need to know about academic publishing in the 21st century. You'll establish your purpose and scope, plan your schedule, approach a publisher, and actually write your book.
