I am attempting to transform the content of my MA thesis into a piece of academic writing which can be published. This is the first time I have done this, and I am concerned that some of my main arguments will become lost in the process. 

How can I successfully condense my writing but still present my points, when I have 6-86–8,000 words to work with, rather than the original 20-3020–30,000, on the basis that many of my arguments are theoretical and need careful explanation?
