This Website has been made available to you with several resources that will enable the editorial and production processes of your book to go as smoothly as possible. It's very important that you use these resources in conjunction with the series-specific guidelines your editor provided. (Talk to your editor if you haven't received a Word document containing guidelines for the specific series you are writing in.) We hope your authoring experience is a pleasant one and look forward to completing a successful book with you!
First, we'd like to draw your attention to the Author FAQ. This is a good starting point and briefly answers some of the most common questions authors have and points you to more specific information on the topic, as necessary. Next, the Chapter Submission Checklist will help you ensure that each chapter is ready for submission.
