Advice on making a book out of your dissertation
William Germano - a publishing director at Routledge - provides some good advice about how to make your dissertation interesting in book form, and some provocative assertions about why dissertations are often dull reads - eg. “The manuscript you produce as a degree requirement needs to demonstrate that you know the history of your field, that you have propitiated various deities, that you’ve found the right giant on whose shoulders you can climb and wave your tiny hat.”

Excellent article. “Most dissertations are as dry as toast and not as tasty.” Classic.
Personally, I would like to change the referencing style to take out the mid-sentence citations (Smith, 2004). And, relatedly but not the same, why do we have to put place of publication in references? I mean, I think I’m well on my way to being a proper scholar, and I have never - not once - used the “place of publication” data for anything - to find anything, to search anything, to evaluate anything - it’s like a little vestigial limb of the citation.
Anita says it’s because librarians want it there for reasons of their own.
