Today I’m going to go in-depth about one of the very best and most important things you can possibly do to improve your book. And this is to host a manuscript workshop! If you’ve never heard of these before, they’re like a best-kept secret in academia. These are essentially a half-or-full day event where you discuss a draft of your book with other experts in your field before you ever submit it to the press for review. The goal is to work out any major issues with the book and get a jumpstart on addressing, or even prevent, many of the potential critiques you may receive from peer review.
This episode talks about the pros and cons of manuscript workshops as well as answers the most common questions about how to organize one effectively. By the end of this episode, you’ll hopefully be convinced why a manuscript workshop is one of the best things you can do for your book.
