Do you have a passion for Windows administration? Does administrative scripting really excite you? Or perhaps some other kind of scripting - PHP, ASP, HTML, XML, ActionScript, and more - is what keeps you awake at night?
If so, we want to hear from you. Download this Word Document, fill it out as best as you can and email it to us., and tell us what kind of book you'd like to write for SAPIEN Press.
We're looking for technical professionals who want to speak out and help educate their peers - and the world - in these topics. Worried that your book won't sell more copies than the latest Stephen King opus? We're not: SAPIEN Press is dedicated to bringing important topics to the light of day; if mainstream publishers don't feel there's a "broad enough" audience, well... shame on them. We believe there's a huge market for our books, and we're uniquely positioned to reach that audience thanks to our more than twenty years of "in the trenches" technology experience.
When you write, tell us a bit about yourself. Tell us a bit about the book you want to write, and why you think it's important. There's no need to be overly formal; we'll help you craft a full proposal, and work with you to nail down exactly what the book will be about and who it will reach. We promise to offer an author contract that's one of the most fair and balanced in the industry, along with compensation rates that are equally competitive. And, more importantly, we'll help bring your book to market with your voice intact - we don't force you into a specific "series style" and we give you the freedom to communicate your topic in the way that you know is best.
So what are you waiting for? It all starts with that first e-mail. Go ahead. Click.
P.S.
If you're an established author and happen to have a literary agent - great! You probably already know the proposal drill inside and out, so write one up and have your agent contact us. We'll all work together to see if you, your book, and SAPIEN Press are a fit for one another.
