I've written several essays and am still working on some that I would like to eventually get published. The issues I cover are on a wide range of topics ranging from Scientology to Piracy to Democracy. All of them are controversial topics. I've supported all my arguments with references to try and give them credibility. The average length is about 2000 words, with some being over 6000 words. What is key is that I think the views I advocate are unique or at least controversial. In all cases my arguments are well supported by evidence and reputable sources. I would like to publish a book in the line of "Arguably Essays" by Christopher Hitchens or Jon Stewarts early book "Naked Pictures of Famous People". What can I do to formulate these essays together in a way more attractive for publishing? - Should I try and link them, however loosely? - Should I try and shorten them, making them more brief and thus perhaps more accessible? - Should I leave opinion out of it to a certain extent? Or anything else that has slipped my list of issues to consider.
