Description
Here is a collection of my motivational and directional messages on authoring academic books. They answer the questions why should a teacher in an institution of higher learning involve in authoring an academic book? And How to go about authoring keeping in mind the expectations from the book’s perspective readers and the expectations from the prospective publishers?
And in addition to these there is one more chapter (9th one) namely “9. Responses from Professors of Eminence, Teachers, Friends and Team Members on the Initiative and on the Motivational and Directional Communications”.
The messages in the well-organized chapters undoubtedly clear all inhibitions in the mind of a teacher aspiring to become an author. The book has thus turned out to be a reference guide consisting of the right set of prescriptions for budding authors of academic books to realize their dream of becoming an author.
