Here are 8 successful *proposals* for academic books/monographs. I am hoping that these help someone who is starting out trying to write one and wants to see what worked for me. They are provided as examples, rather than exemplars. A lot of it was just finding my own way eve.gd/2026/01/16/s...

Our Talking about the Past Zoom meeting today discussed this highly interesting podcast episode. It was great to hear the enthusiasm for indexes both as a research tool and as a way of marketing a scholarly book. We concur with their views on the limitations of AI for book indexing.

Episode 35: How to Index Your Book If you’ve ever wondered how this *highly interesting* part of the book process works, then join @rozierhistorian.bsky.social @rosiebonte.bsky.social and Rob as we talk: - What is an index for? - What do publishers want? - What makes a good/bad index? Links in bio

It's always instructive to hear what other people think about your job, and the @ecrpodcasters.bsky.social episode on indexing was interesting to hear and to discuss. My blog post on indexing aimed at academic authors has more guidance and resources: tanyaizzard.co.uk/2025/11/26/i...

This is a fantastic blogpost by @patthomson.bsky.social about the mixed emotions when you do finally get an article published. I was esp drawn to this para and this is why I'm honest & vulnerable abt my challenges via my blog (and also in the imposter syndrome episode of @ecrpodcasters.bsky.social!)
