Becoming an Apress Author
Apress is looking for authors with both technical expertise and the ability to clearly explain complicated technical concepts. We want authors who are passionate, innovative, and original.
Apress doesn't work quite the same as more traditional computer book publishers do. For example, the first question many authors ask a potential publisher is “What topics are you looking for?” At Apress, we ask authors these questions instead:
- What are you an expert on?
- What do you have real-world experience in?
- What are you passionate about?
Of course, your Apress editor will work with you to help ensure that your book is marketable and ultimately successful, but the first stage of that process has to be for us to hear about your ideas–not for you to hear about ours!
