Thanks for this very informative and motivating blog.
This has inspired me to compile my academic papers into books.

Hi Alan,
I am so glad I found you and your blog! Your website & pictures are the most warm and welcoming I’ve come across. As an aspiring writer, I was especially struck in your bio when you said, “Writers who are at the beginning of their careers are my speciality and my passion.”
Last year I attended the Harvard Writer’s Conference, (I was a writer’s conference virgin) and it changed my life. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it there this year.
You have a new fan…
Stephanie

My current WIP started took off from an academic paper. The writer of the said paper was thrilled by my idea. Inspiration comes from all sources. I’m always on the look out for a story!

Probably the most difficult (even painful) process for all involved, of any exercise in publishing. Any insights on true academic publishing? It’s sometimes said that Kant or Aristotle couldn’t get published in this market unless the movie came out first.
