In our February "how can we help you?" thread, a reader writes:
As someone writing my first research monograph, I would love to know about any good online sources of advice--like, tips on writing a good introduction, things like that. I have found so much good teaching-related material online, but I'm not sure where to look for writing-related guidance (ideally, philosophy-specific). Help!
Excellent question! I've written a couple of books, and could always offer some suggestions--but it looks like this reader is not looking so much for advice here as they are looking for resources online on writing a monograph/original-research book. Anyone know of any good resources like that? If not, and if you have written a monograph, do you have any tips you think the OP might find helpful?
The book 'From Dissertation to Book' by Germano was helpful to me.

I recommend Jolie Jensen's book "Write no matter what" and Paul Silvia's "How to write a lot". Not philosophy-specific, but written for academics.
