Your textbook - Your way!
How much does it cost to publish my textbook?
The traditional textbook
publishing industry has been taking a tremendous beating in recent
years. Textbooks are too expensive, take too long to bring to market,
are too broad in scope to be useful in many classes, and are often
written by authors with little to no practical knowledge of either
the topic or teaching methodologies. The cost for students alone
currently approaches $1,000 per year in the US (Make
Textbooks Affordable). Much is being done to change the industry
- and a new textbook publishing solution provided by ProfessorTextbook
will help lead the way.
Professor Textbook is a new service offering a
new textbook publishing model to instructors and professors at colleges
and universities across the United States. We can publish textbooks
in all areas of expertise. Your students could have quick access
to a textbook focused on their learning needs, written by expert
- you, and professionally edited by our team of academic editors.
Our unique process gives faculty the ability to customize textbooks
as they wish for their classes.
Professor Textbooks publishing model doesn't depend
on tremendous quantities of books being sold to generate profit
for the professor. Instead, we focus on delivering affordable textbooks
to students
We believe that both students and faculty are
ready for this new model of textbook publishing. Our approach can
provide dramatically lower costs for students. Books produced in
this manner will enhance the learning experience by giving instructors
complete control over their content.
Self publishing of non-textbook product is already
gaining ground in the world of publishing (Writers
Digest), and now we bring a similar pattern to the world of
textbook publishing. |
