Abstract :
This session is an interactive panel designed to give potential authors some insight into the process of writing a textbook. The session describes the basic process for publishing a textbook, from developing the initial idea, to obtaining a contract, to completing the book. Panelists also share their personal insights on the entire process. This session is designed to be highly interactive and should draw the audience strongly into the discussion.
