Recently I was asked by a large research university to put together a workshop for junior faculty about transforming your dissertation into a book. 

It’s made me reflect on the very long and painful process I went through writing my first book, which I started working on soon after I graduated with my PhD in 2010.

In this episode I’m going to focus on WHY revising your dissertation is such an emotionally fraught process. 

I’ll give you an exercise at the end to help you reflect on your journey from graduate student to full-fledged expert.

And in the next episode, I will give some specific and practical tips and tricks to help you as you work on revising.
