Outlines the role of the Acquisitions Editor and author support resources for manuscript preparation, including MS Word and LaTeX camera-ready workflows, as well as contributor agreements, contributor checklists, and solutions manual guidelines. Provides practical strategies for developing a competitive textbook, covering market analysis, scheduling, review and class testing, student feedback, learning features, and effective presentation of mathematics, computational tools, engineering applications, and emerging technologies.","PUBLISHING YOUR TEXTBOOK WITH CRC PRESS\nWe at CRC Press / Taylor & Francis would like to welcome you!  As a member of textbook author group you are of great importance to us. This Guide is intended to highlight the special activities we bring to the creation of a new or revised college textbook, and the publishing process for textbooks at CRC.\nYou’ll be working with a number of publishing professionals at CRC as your book is developed, produced, marketed and sold; keep in mind that your Acquisitions Editor is always available to field your questions and concerns.\nHopefully this Textbook Author Guide will provide you with a “roadmap” as your book project is planned, published, and promoted.\nAUTHOR RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO YOU\nCRC has a number of key resources available to help guide you through the manuscript preparation and book production phases.  If you have any questions about the information contained in these resources, please contact your editor.\nWe have separate Author Guides for books created with MS Word text files, which CRC will format; and “camera-ready” books done in Latex that you the author will create working with a provided template. It’s always best to view this guide carefully before you start assembling your textbook manuscript.\nIf your book will have contributed chapters from other writers, we can supply you with Contributor Agreements; these forms are to be signed by contributors, to insure that CRC has the right to use the material they develop. We can also supply a Contributor Checklist, to help you organize the process.\nSolutions Manual Guidelines are available, for when you’re ready to create this key textbook supplement. The guidelines are simple and easy to follow, and when followed provide us with a manual that can be efficiently published and distributed to qualified adopting professors in print or .pdf form.\nDEVELOPING YOUR TEXTBOOK\nTextbook publishing is a competitive business, and there are a number of factors to keep in mind for making your textbook successful:\nKnow your competition.  Whether your textbook is intended for a large undergraduate engineering course, or for a more specialized graduate-level area, knowing the main competitors is key to your work’s eventual success. You and your editor both need to know the kind of content, learning features and supplements the leading books contain. Your book should at least match the competition in its number of worked examples and chapter problems; offering more will create a real advantage. Adding learning features that your competition doesn’t offer will help greatly; for instance, your book may be the first to contain case studies or computer simulation examples.\nSchedule the book carefully.  Your editor will work with you to create a schedule that’s right for your book to be competitive. It’s best to come out the same year as your main competitor – instructors will need to choose either a new edition of their current book, or a new textbook. If your book comes out a year or two after your main competitor, many adoptions will be “locked in” and hard to gain, no matter how much better your book may be. Also, your editor will work with you to be sure the textbook comes out at a good time of year for adoption consideration: November to February for fall term adoption, and August to October for winter term adoption.\nReviewing and class-testing.  Reviews and class tests are excellent tools for making your textbook more accurate, more student-friendly, and more competitive with the market leading texts; they do require additional time to be effective, and need to be scheduled accordingly.\nStudent feedback and learning patterns.  Outside of formal class-testing, student input can be an excellent way to make your textbook more competitive. Many students will use a textbook selectively – they’ll look over an assigned chapter problem, look for a worked example that covers the topic, and read the descriptive text section if they still need more help.
