Creating a Scholarly Monograph | Ep. 43

Have you ever had what seemed like a dozen ideas for a book, but never moved past the title? Or have you had your heart set on one idea, but just can’t seem to make meaningful progress on it? Hey co-authors! In this episode, we talk about the scholarly monograph as a focused intellectual project built on clarity of argument, strong positioning, and a clear scholarly identity. And, we discuss how to stay anchored when distractions inevitably arise. We walk through a step-by-step process to explore: How to move beyond the “idea trap” by recognizing why ideas feel exciting but projects become difficult. How to target the right publisher by identifying presses that align with your work. How to write with both readability and authority. How to move from contract to completion by building sustainable writing habits. If you’ve been circling a book idea without traction (or struggling to turn a contract into a completed manuscript), this episode will give you the structure and next steps to get you across the finish line.
