Former College Instructor Makes Far More Writing for College Textbook Publishers Than He Ever Did Teaching
John Soares, former college instructor and author of over 200 supplements for college textbooks, teaches others how to write textbook supplements in his new book Writing College Textbook Supplements: The Definitive Guide to Winning High-Paying Assignments in the College Textbook Publishing Market.
Mount Shasta, CA, May 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The major downturn in the economy affects nearly everyone, including those who teach or have taught college.
John Soares, author of the just-released Writing College Textbook Supplements: The Definitive Guide to Winning High-Paying Assignments in the College Textbook Publishing Market, knows how college instructors, ex-college instructors, and freelance writers can beat the recession blues by earning $25-$100 per hour writing supplements for college textbooks.
What exactly are supplements (also called ancillaries and instructional materials)? Here are the most common types:
Instructor's manuals
Student study guides
Student companion websites
Test questions
Internet exercises
Lecture outlines
Article exercises
And many, many others
Most lower-division college textbooks have these, and publishers need motivated people to write them. John Soares shares exactly how to do a great job on all of these projects.
Just as important, he details how to win assignments from editors and how to keep editors happy so they come back to writers again and again with more work.
And John knows what he’s talking about. He’s been doing it since 1992 and it’s given him the freedom to travel and live where he wants, including three years in the Hawaiian Islands. He now lives in his favorite place in the world – the rural mountain region near Mount Shasta in northern California.
And he’s made good money writing supplements – over $63,000 in his best year, and he had plenty of time off to enjoy life.
Business instructor Joy von Skepsgardh says “I feel inspired and empowered after reading the book. I know that what I gained will help my teaching style and allow me to write supplements in my field which will address what students, instructors, and editors want. I have a whole new way to make more money thanks to you.”
Sharon Adams Poore, Senior Development Editor at major textbook publisher Cengage Learning, says “John Soares has written an excellent guide to the art of textbook supplement writing. He thoroughly covers everything you need to know to get projects from editors, and he explains the process of preparing a textbook supplement step by step. If you have ever considered authoring a textbook supplement, I cannot think of anyone more qualified to show you the way than John Soares.”
Discussion of John’s productive textbook supplement writing career and all the details of Writing College Textbook Supplements: The Definitive Guide to Winning High-Paying Assignments in the College Textbook Publishing Market are at http://writingcollegetextbooksupplements.com/.
John also writes the Writing College Textbook Supplements blog at http://writingcollegetextbooksupplements.com/blog/, where he gives advice on how to write supplements and get assignments; he also examines important issues related to college teaching and textbook publishing.
John’s new book offers the opportunity for anyone who has ever taught a college class to make good income in the overlooked field of creating supplements for college textbooks.
