write a textbook
One step closer 3 years ago

“Talked” to a publisher (by email) today. I think they are interested. I’ve done this before, but this time is different. I want to write the first-ever textbook written in hypertext from scratch (unlike most, that are paper and ink converted to hypertext, which is different).

this is cool!

keep it going! :-)))
I used to also write rough drafts but after writing a publisher and got a rejection, i felt i lost the passion. Hope I can regain it again :-))

having had to PAY for textbooks...

I’m deciding whether this is a good goal for those poor college students! ;p J/K What subject is your textbook on?

Books of a different color

I study/teach the anatomy of the brain. I have authored textbook chapters before, never an entire book. It would be a biopsychology book, for a sophomore college-level psychology class.

I do have a published book, called “Do-It-Yourself Agility Equipment” (http://www.cleanrun.com/category.cfm?Category=277&CFID=695448&CFTOKEN=22116984 or http://tinyurl.com/cnjxf).

I tried to see if I could use NaNoWriMo to work on my textbook, but it was against the rules, so I had to think up the plot of a novel instead.
