What are the most effective strategies for writing an academic book today?

[aimme]

I recently started writing an academic book, and I'm finding it harder than expected to balance research depth with clear structure. I want to keep it credible but also readable. What methods do you use to organize chapters, manage sources, and stay consistent? How do you ensure originality while covering well-known topics? I'd really value honest, experience-based suggestions from those who have gone through writing an academic book successfully.
