Does writing your academic book feel like a complete mystery? Wondering how other scholars find the time to write while juggling teaching, research, and service - when you have been looking at the same page for weeks?

Welcome to Academic Book Writing Simplified - the podcast for women and non-binary scholars who want to cut through the confusion of academic publishing so they can finally write their book with clarity and confidence.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and finally write the book that establishes your expertise, you’re in the right place.

I’m your host, Jane Joann Jones, PhD, former academic on tenure track turned developmental editor and book writing coach for women of color in academia. I’ve helped over 100 academics publish their book with leading presses including University of Chicago, Duke, Stanford, Rutgers, Oxford, Princeton and Stanford. I want to help you do the same.

This podcast will give you clear, practical answers to your biggest book-writing questions including:

How do I start writing my academic book?
How long does it *really* take to write an academic book?
Can I just revise my dissertation and turn it into a book, or do I need to start from scratch?
How can I write my book if I don’t feel like an expert?

Each episode busts common myths about academic book writing, exposes the hidden curriculum of scholarly publishing, and gives you actionable strategies so you can make steady progress — without waiting for the perfect time to start.
