Towards the end of my Ph.D., my supervisor suggested that I convert my Ph.D. thesis into a technical book. While that may sound very easy to achieve given the thesis was already near completion, writing a technical book versus a Ph.D. thesis are two very different things.
It was also at this time that I realized that aside from conference presentations, poster sessions and journal articles, there was yet another class of publication- technical book.
Writing either a whole technical book or contributing a chapter to someone’s technical book is a great way to disseminate your scientific contributions to a larger readership.
So I put together an ultimate guide to writing your first technical book and shared the entire process of writing a technical book to help the first time authors.
Learn about the dos, the donts and everything else that goes on behind the scenes when writing a technical book.
Good luck on your journey towards becoming a published author.
