Replay and Guide: How to Strategically Weave Your Argument Through Your Book Manuscript

This Quarter's Webinar for Paid Subscribers

One of the biggest challenges of writing a scholarly book is figuring out how to sustain your argument across multiple chapters—without sounding repetitive or getting lost in the weeds.

In this quarter's webinar for paid subscribers, I walk through common pitfalls and practical strategies to help you carry your core insights through the entire manuscript, whether you're writing from scratch or revising a dissertation.

If you're in the humanities or qualitative social sciences, you probably know this struggle well: your argument evolves as you write, your chapters each carry their own weight, and it’s easy to either lose the thread or repeat yourself trying to keep the argument visible.

That’s why I created this training and accompanying handout—to help you develop what I call a “living blueprint” of your book’s argument and to offer concrete tools for tracking, refining, and strategically weaving your claims across chapters.

After the paywall, you’ll find the full webinar replay along with the downloadable guide, which includes foundational tools for clarifying your argument and practical strategies to develop and connect it throughout your manuscript.

I hope it’s helpful as you keep moving your book forward!

As a reminder, you can still upgrade your subscription and have replay access to this webinar and the previous one, How to Know When Your Manuscript is Publication Ready.
