So in the last episode I talked about some of the reasons why transforming your dissertation into a book is an emotionally complex process. 

It’s possible you’ve outgrown your topic and need to find ways to reconnect to your original sources of inspiration to keep going. 

You also need to bid farewell to your earlier grad student self and move forward into the next stage of your intellectual journey as an expert, and I gave you a little exercise you could do to move this process along.

Today’s episode is going to be all about practical application. I’m going to give some really useful and specific tips and tricks that will help you revise your dissertation into a book.
