My response is always as follows:<br \/>\u201cImagine that your book is already published and its copies are on display in a few bookstores. Someone visiting the bookstore picks up a copy and turns to the matter on the outside back cover. What text would they find there?\u201d In other words, ask them to send me the \u201cblurb\u201d (again, a bit of publishing jargon), which is a short piece of text (200\u2013300 words) describing what the book is all about, who should read it, and why.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">This is one way to begin thinking in more concrete terms about the book you want to write. Writing the blurb forces you to focus on the essentials. Also, writing that short piece of text is far easier than even thinking about writing the entire book, which may easily run to 60,000\u201380,000 words.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Draw up the table of contents<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">For those who come up with a blurb, my next question is this: What would the potential reader see on the contents page? Thinking about the contents page forces you to define not only the scope of the proposed monograph but its structure and organization. What are the proposed chapters? In what sequence would you present them? Ideally, for each chapter, you should also be ready with at least its main headings if not the subheadings under each main heading. You can call this outlining and make it as simple or as elaborate as you wish: the old-fashioned way is to use roman numerals in capitals for the highest level (I, II, III, and so on), then capital letters for each subdivision under that level, then lowercase roman numerals (i, ii, iii, and so on), and finally lowercase letters. Alternatively, Microsoft Word also offers you the option of \u201cOutline view.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Start fleshing out the skeleton (outline)<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The hardest part is to start generating text, fleshing out the outline, or building the structure once you have the framework in place. This is also the task that is going to take you the longest, which is why it is best to have a routine, a fixed slot [1] of at least 45 minutes every day or every other day or twice a week or whatever, reserved solely for writing. Maybe, you cannot think of anything to write when the slot starts. Never mind: the important thing is to persevere and not quit. You must not do anything else in that slot. One somewhat extreme piece of advice is this [2]:<br \/>\u201cIf I cannot think of anything to write, I write \u2018I cannot think anything to write&#8230; okay, now I thought of this new idea on&#8230;\u2019\u00a0\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Kick-start each writing session and make the most of it<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">You will find that words come to you more readily if you have \u201cprimed\u201d your mind by talking to someone\u2014ideally someone who represents your target readership\u2014about what you are going to write. That talk does not have to be even in the language in which you are going to write. Next best is to mull over the previous day what you are going to write the next day.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Set a target for each writing session\u2014and that target should be defined in terms of the number of words; say 500 words an hour. That way, each session will be productive.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Differences across the sciences, social studies, and humanities<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Although this article is aimed as researchers in any field, it is worthwhile keeping in mind that writing style differs across broad fields. The vocabulary is bound to vary, but even the syntax can be different: for instance, one study [3] showed that sentence structure is simpler in the sciences but more elaborate, with more embedded clauses and complex sentences<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\">, than that in the humanities<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">. Writing in the sciences also tends to be more concrete because the matter is concrete\u2014even when those concrete objects, whether stars beyond the galaxy or atoms or genes, are well beyond what can be perceived through our senses. Philosophy or sociology or literary criticism, on the other hand, tackles matters that are essentially abstract. Stylometrics, or data-driven analyses of writing styles, can reveal even more differences but remember that in writing a monograph, you are not constrained by the IMRaD structure but have the liberty to develop your exposition to suit the contents. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Finding a publisher<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">See if you can get a publisher interested in your manuscript. Most major publishers prefer to consider manuscripts that have been submitted to them by literary agents, and it may be a good idea to engage one. However, most scientific and technical publishers also advise aspiring authors to use a book proposal form [4] available from publishers\u2019 websites. Proposals typically require you to supply the following details:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\">Target readership<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Estimated length of the book (number of words)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Proposed table of contents<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">A sample chapter<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Your CV<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Titles of similar books already published and a brief description of how yours will be different<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Concluding remarks<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Writing a monograph may seem a daunting task, but it is manageable and can even be enjoyable because you are free of the rigid IMRaD format typically demanded of research papers, nor are you required to confine the writing only to original research: instead, you can present your unique understanding of the subject in a structure particularly suited for the job. And remember that monographs have a longer shelf life than most research papers and also represent a substantial contribution to your field\u2014and therefore look good on your CV.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Maybe there is a good book inside you: here\u2019s to its first chapter!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"page-break-after:avoid\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">References<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:150%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Sitka Text&quot;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">[1] Silvia P J. 2019.<i> How to Write a Lot: a practical guide to productive academic writing<\/i>, 2nd ed., pp. 29\u201333.
