This essay provides a personal and reflective account of the process of adapting a PhD thesis, which was written for a panel of examiners to demonstrate academic competence, to a monograph, which in simple terms is written for a wide audience including students and academics with the aim of communicating ideas. It is hoped that this article provides insight to postdoctoral researchers who may be thinking about submitting a proposal to a publisher for adaptation of their PhD thesis to a monograph.
Keywords: thesis adaptation; monograph; academic publishers.
