Boot camp is not right for you. My expertise is in helping US/UK academics revise books based on their dissertation for publication with US/UK academic presses. I have developed the curriculum specifically for this audience. So, the materials will not be relevant--and might even make your chances of publishing worse!--if you do not fit this profile. Additionally, boot camp is most useful at a very specific time: at least one semester post-Ph.D., but before you have revised more than 50% of the manuscript. That's not to say that the curriculum could not be helpful at all. But, if you've already revised 50%+ of the manuscript, boot camp might do more harm than good. You're better off continuing on the path you're currently on. Please, however, feel free to contact me directly and we can talk about your specific case.

Dissertation-to-book boot camp is right for you, just not now. I want your time and energy to be well-spent. I highly recommend that you wait at least one semester post-Ph.D. before undertaking boot camp. This will give you the time and distance needed to make the most of the boot camp curriculum. Click on the button to join the waiting list and I'll be in touch when boot camp opens next.
