Is a bestseller hiding in your academic papers?
Agents, editors, and publishers receive queries every day from professors, scholars, clinicians and other academics who say they have a great idea for a trade book based on their research, thesis, journal article or latest discoveries from the lab or clinic. Sharp editors also scour the daily press for the latest breaking news about scientific discoveries and newly reported studies on topics dear to the heart of the general reader.
Scroll down for details on how publishers work with academic authors to produce popular trade books: editorial development, co-authorship and working with a ghostwriter.

I have a manuscript that is based on this very same idea. Only I cannot do anything with it until after my dissertation is complete. There is a bulk of information that I am unable to use because of the nature of writing an academic paper. They want the bear bones and not too much contraversy. So the bulk of the real work will not be available to the public until I can officially release it. Thanks for the link.
