Join a panel of Dickinson faculty who have successfully published textbooks as they share their experiences—from developing an idea to working with editors and bringing a book to market.
Interested in publishing a textbook but unsure where to begin? Panelists will discuss how they shaped their proposals, what publishers look for, and how textbook writing fits within an academic career. They’ll also offer practical advice about timelines, collaboration, and balancing writing with teaching and research. Whether you are considering writing a textbook or simply curious about the process, this session will offer insights and an opportunity to ask questions.
