Why Write?

Make a Contribution to Your Field

"Writing is an adventure."
   -- Winston Churchill

 Spark excitement and curiosity about your field. A good textbook can open students' minds to new ideas. A good reference book can enhance the development of practicing professionals who are always eager to grow. Would you like to play an important role in enhancing the current body of your field or in seeding its future? Writing a textbook or a professional book can help you do just that.
 
 

Teach More Students

"If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."
   -- Toni Morrison

 You're a wonderful teacher. You understand today's students and know how to reach them. You've synthesized the research and know the best way to facilitate your students' understanding of complex ideas. What better way than writing a textbook to reach beyond the walls of your own classroom and touch the lives of students around the world?
 
 

Change the Way the World Learns

"Writing isn't an occupation, but a duty. I write as much to understand as to be understood." 
   -- Elie Wiesel

 Trends in your field... new ways of teaching classic material... new technologies... Now is an exciting time to be in the world of educational publishing. Writing a textbook or creating other instructional and professional enhancement materials is a way to capture some of that excitement. Regardless of how content is delivered -- print, CD-ROM, Web, video, audio -- there will always be a need for quality educational and professional material that incorporates important new ideas, methods, and approaches. 
 
 

Expand Your Reputation on a Global Level

"Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure."
   -- Edward Thorndike

 While you may already be known for your research, a successful book is an ongoing project that keeps your name in front of the educational community for many years. United Statescolleges and universities are revered throughout the world -- and as a result, many U.S. books and materials are sold globally. Many Allyn & Bacon authors are called on to speak both nationally and internationally. One of the key ways they have been brought to the attention of the world educational community is through the books they have written.
 
 

Join a Distinguished Group of Colleagues

"One of the marks of a gift is to have the courage to use it." 
   -- Katherine Anne Porter

 Join your field's most esteemed authors who are credited with the most authoritative titles in publishing. The authoring experience has the potential to enhance both your personal and professional life. It's a rewarding experience.
