ALT Revising a Dissertation into a Monograph:
The audience has changed, so you will need to adapt the scope accordingly
Look at published books in your field as both examples and competition
Rethink your content, structure, length, style, and readability if necessary
Get rid of excessive quotation/documentation (such as a literature review)
Cut all mention of the book’s thesis origins (e.g. in acknowledgements)
Reconfigure chapter titles and the book’s overall title
Be realistic about the amount of work involved and your timeline
Speak out it, whether to editors like us or to other academics / authors
