    Turning Your Dissertation into a Book with Katelyn Knox and Allison van Deventer

    My guests today are Katelyn Knox and Allison van Deventer, who recognized each other as kindred spirits during grad school at UCLA. Katelyn went on to land a tenure-track job at the University of Central Arkansas and eventually published a book based on her dissertation. She developed a "Dissertation-to-Book Boot Camp" to help other authors get through the difficulties she experienced during this process. After the first year, she brought Allison in to help. Together they ran the course for several years, revising it along the way, and then pitched it as a book to the University of Chicago Press. That project became The Dissertation-to-Book Workbook, and is the subject of our conversation today!
