Thinking Like Your Editor: How to Write Great Serious Nonfiction and Get It Published, by Susan Rabiner and Alfred Fortunato
I just finished reading this book, which is already 10 years old, but still offers some excellent advice for writing dissertations and/or turning your dissertation into a book.  Even for more advanced scholars who are trying to write for an audience outside of their core discipline for the first time, this book offer some great tips and thoughts about the writing process.  I found the section on “using narrative tension” particularly useful.
