Description:

In this episode, Mark gives you a sneak peak behind the scenes of his new book, The Research Impact Handbook, and tells you how you can write a book in a week.

Key points:

  • Reasons why you might choose to self-publish your next book, rather than going with a traditional academic publisher (or not)
  • The personal story behind The Research Impact Handbook, including the sentence that breaks a lifetime of silence and shame
  • How you can write a book in a week by breaking the task down into manageable tasks that can be compiled into a book easily, in just a week
  • The key is to confront your fear of putting something imperfect into the world and receiving criticism, and start putting out things that are "good enough" and improving and extending your work progressively - what Jeff Ollson calls "the slight edge"
