Ian Darke has produced a kind of shepherd’s manual intended to lead a dispersed doctoral flock across the plains and through the valleys that lie between the graduated ‘doctor’ and the publishing of his doctoral labours as a fresh, accessible, and well-tuned gift to the reading public.
David A Baer, Director, Theological Education Initiative
This is a valuable and hugely practical resource. It should be on the mandatory reading list, not just for all those scholars who have been called to write, but also for Majority World editors and publishers everywhere.
Colin J Macpherson, Langham Partnership International
The publishing landscape can be opaque to outsiders and non-experts. Ian Darke has pulled back the curtain on how publishers across the globe, and Christian publishers in particular, think about your thesis and has given us a wonderful book of specific, practical, detailed advice for revising your work and placing it where it belongs in the current landscape.
Dr Stephanie L Derrick, screenwriter and award-winning historian of religion
This book provides clear, practical examples of transforming complex dissertations into engaging resources for the everyday Christian reader. If you've ever dreamt of sharing your research with a wider audience, this is the guide you've been waiting for.
Milton Acosta, Associate Director of Global Training, United World Mission
A short book full of wise and practical advice that has been tried and tested. I will be recommending it to our authors and to those who send us proposals that are in need of further development.
Sam Richardson, CEO, SPCK Group
