In our February "how can we help you?" thread, a reader writes:

As someone writing my first research monograph, I would love to know about any good online sources of advice–like, tips on writing a good introduction, things like that. I have found so much good teaching-related material online, but I'm not sure where to look for writing-related guidance (ideally, philosophy-specific). Help!

Excellent question! I've written a couple of books, and could always offer some suggestions–but it looks like this reader is not looking so much for advice here as they are looking for resources online on writing a monograph/original-research book. Anyone know of any good resources like that? If not, and if you have written a monograph, do you have any tips you think the OP might find helpful?

    The book ‘From Dissertation to Book’ by Germano was helpful to me.

    I recommend Jolie Jensen’s book “Write no matter what” and Paul Silvia’s “How to write a lot”. Not philosophy-specific, but written for academics.

    I get this newsletter, the person also runs a workshop (that I have never done). https://newsletter.manuscriptworks.com
